Abstract
Subluminal, luminal and superluminal localized wave solutions to the paraxial pulsed beam equation in free space are determined. A clarification is also made to recent work on pulsed beams of arbitrary speed which are solutions of a narrowband temporal spectrum version of the forward pulsed beam equation.
