  • Abstract
    It is shown that the numerical evaluation of the physical optics integral may be accelerated by an order of magnitude or more by adaptively varying the sampling density. The fast variation of the integrand is determined by the gradient of the phase, which in some regions may require far fewer points-per-wavelength than the standard Nyquist sampling rate.
