  bibo_abstract:
  - The physical optics approximations are derived from the Maxwell equations. The
    scattered field equations by Kirchhoff, Stratton-Chu, Kottler and Franz are compared
    and discussed. It is shown that in the case of faceted particles, these equations
    reduce to a sum of the diffraction integrals, where every diffraction integral
    is associated with one plane–parallel optical beam leaving a particle facet. In
    the far zone, these diffraction integrals correspond to the Fraunhofer diffraction
    patterns. The paper discusses the E-, M- and (E, M)-diffraction theories as applied
    to ice crystals of cirrus clouds. The comparison to the exact solution obtained
    by the discontinuous Galerkin time domain method shows that the Kirchhoff diffraction
    theory is preferable.@eng
