The problem of calculation of the scattering matrices for large faceted particles within the framework of physical optics is split into three steps. First, we find the matrix in the geometric optics approximation. Second, we calculate the so-called Fraunhofer diffraction matrix. And, finally, the matrix desired is found as an integral transform of the geometric optics matrix by means of the Fraunhofer matrix.
