mwaves is a Mathematica package that can be used calculate the propagation of an electromagnetic wave from an aperture plane to a parallel observation plane. This is done by the direct integration of the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integral using Fourier transform methods.

The method implemented here is as described in: Shen, Fabin, and Anbo Wang. "Fast-Fourier-transform based numerical integration method for the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction formula." Applied optics 45, no. 6 (2006): 1102-1110.
