الوصف: We theoretically show that an externally driven dipole placed inside a cylindrical hollow waveguide can generate a train of ultrashort and ultrafocused electromagnetic pulses. The waveguide encloses vacuum with perfect electric conducting walls. A dipole driven by a single short pulse, which is properly engineered to exploit the linear spectral filtering of the cylindrical hollow waveguide, excites longitudinal waveguide modes that are coherently re-focused at some particular instances of time. A dipole driven by a pulse with a lower-bounded temporal width can thus generate, in principle, a finite train of arbitrarily short and focused electromagnetic pulses. We numerically show that such ultrafocused pulses persist outside the cylindrical waveguide at distances comparable to its radius.
