 Comparison can be even better done on single profile across the direction of diffraction pattern as shown below. Note the effect of limited angular resolution of the calculation which can be one of reasons of small differences (besides limited NFFF integration area and other numerical errors). Comparison can be even better done on single profile across the direction of diffraction pattern as shown below.

 To evaluate far field scattering pattern, a periodic NFFF computational boundary is used, which means that local fields on integration boundary are copied as many times as requested, simulating much larger periodic structure. To evaluate far field scattering pattern, a periodic NFFF computational boundary is used, which means that local fields on integration boundary are copied as many times as requested, simulating much larger periodic structure.
  
-The whole pattern as simulated for grating spacing to wavelength ratio of approx 10:1 and finite size of 13x13 holes is shown below, both in normal and logarithmic scale (note that in contrast to aperture simulation results now the θ axis is the horizontal one).+The whole pattern as simulated for grating spacing to wavelength ratio of approx 10:1 and finite size of 13x13 holes is shown below.

 Even if it would be in principle possible to calculate the same images also using FDTD, the number of far field points with the same resolution would be around million which is already significantly slow in present version of GSvit. Therefore we had compared result only on a single profile in x direction again, similarily to how the aperture intensity graphs were obtained. Results are show below (x axis is in degrees) Even if it would be in principle possible to calculate the same images also using FDTD, the number of far field points with the same resolution would be around million which is already significantly slow in present version of GSvit.
