Rezumat:

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.
