Numerical anisotropy is one of the main problems in the design of explicit 3D depth-extrapolation operators. This paper introduces a new method based on constraining the number of independent coefficients for the full 3D extrapolation operator. The extrapolation operator is divided into two regions. The coefficients for the inner part of the extrapolation operator are treated the same as the full 3D extrapolation operator. The coefficients for the Outer part of the extrapolation operator are constrained to be constant as a function of azimuth for a given radius. This strategy reduces the number of floating-point operations because, for each extrapolation step, the number of complex multiplications are reduced and replaced by complex additions. The numerical workload of this alternative scheme is comparable to the Hale-McClellan scheme. Impulse responses are compared with finite-difference solutions for the two-way acoustic-wave equation. It is demonstrated that the numerical anisotropy for the proposed scheme is negligible and that the constrained-depth-extrapolation operator call be used in media with large lateral velocity contrasts. The design of constrained-depth-extrapolation operators with different maximum propagation angles in inline and crossline directions is explained and exemplified. These types of operators can be used to suppress the propagation of aliased energy in the crossline direction during depth extrapolation while reducing numerical cost.
