# BeamPropagationMethod > *Read this in other languages: [Русский](README.ru.md)* ## Description Simple realization of the beam propagation method based on FFT (Fast Fourier Tranform) for MATLAB/Octave. Includes several scripts described by their names. One can change values denoted as "User Choices" to get different results. The file "rect.m" contains the [rectangular function](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangular_function). ## References - [Hung Loui.
