Abstract
In this paper we analyze the properties of chirped optical X-shaped pulses propagating in material media without boundaries. We show that such ("superluminal") pulses may recover their transverse and longitudinal shape after some propagation distance, while the ordinary chirped gaussian-pulses can recover their longitudinal shape only (since gaussian pulses suffer a progressive spreading during their propagation). We therefore propose the use of chirped optical X-type pulses to overcome the problems of both dispersion and diffraction during the pulse propagation.
