  text: 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.
