A spacetime wave packet is a spatial-temporal light structure with a one-to-one correlation between spatial and temporal frequencies.[1] In particular, their group velocity in free space can be controlled arbitrarily from sub-luminal to super-luminal speeds without needing to control the dispersion of the medium it is propagating within.[2] Their behavior under refraction does not follow the normal expectations given by Snell's law.[3] Monochromatic Gaussian beam is shown to be transformed into spacetime wave packets under Lorentz transformation, thus any monochromatic Gaussian beam observed in a reference frame moving at relativistic velocity appears as spacetime wave packets.[4][5]
