Abstract
The peculiar spatiotemporal profile of an optical realization of the n onspreading axisymmetric X wave has been recorded. For treatment of th e experiment a simple representation of X-type waves and their correla tion with plane waves has been introduced, which covers also a broader class of incoherent wave fields.
