- | However, if we are interested in the maximum in some diffraction order direction, it is much simpler and it seems that this is the preferably used approach - we calculate the far field value only at the diffraction order maximum. Luckily enough, this value is dependent on the aperture only, which constructs the envelope for the diffraction pattern, so in this case one could work only with a single aperture. However, to construct the diffraction pattern is a good way how to debug the problem.

- | using the periodic approach for only a small number of repetitions does not work as it does not take into account the field on sides of the computational domain. For large number of periodic approach repetitions we get results that are same as analytical results. | + | using the periodic approach with only a small number of repetitions does not work as it does not take into account the field on sides of the computational domain.

If we manually extend the computational domain and include all the apertures, results agree with the analytical results also for small number of apertures. See the technical explanation listed below for our reference. | If we manually extend the computational domain and include all the apertures, results agree with the analytical results also for small number of apertures.
