Approximate convolution - for loop problem [message #64417]

Hello everyone, I'm trying to execute a 1-d convolution of an array,
signal.

Using an analytic approximation, obtaining the convolved bolometer
signal, bolo_signal, at time step ii, is given by the following:

nsamp=n_elements(signal)
const1 = exp(-tsamp/taubolo)
const2 = 1.-const1

bolo_signal = const2*signal
for ii= 1L,nsamp-1L do begin
bolo_signal[ii] += const1*bolo_signal[ii-1]
endfor

where tsamp and taubolo are scalars. Is there any way to avoid the for
loop in this case? The hope is to speed up the execution.

Many thanks for your help
