Abstract
We describe a fast computational algorithm able to evaluate the Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction formula, based on a special formulation of the convolution theorem and the fast Fourier transform. What is new in our approach compared to other algorithms is the use of a more general type of convolution with a scale parameter, which allows for independent sampling intervals in the input and output computation windows. Comparison between the calculations made using our algorithm and direct numeric integration show a very good agreement, while the computation speed is increased by orders of magnitude.
