21. In Ref., page 2 right after Eq. 14, it should have been emphasized that the discussion of "diffraction free" beams is referring to the spectral (monochromatic) components only. In the case of a polychromatic pulsed beam it is seen from Eqs.(12-14) in Ref. that the electric field depends on both r and z in a nontrivial manner.
