The far field spectra as a function of several opto-geometrical parameters, wavelength ¦Ë , slit width l, separation d , incidence angle ¦Èi £¿and Hermite order m £¿is analyzed. In the vectorial diffraction region given when ¦Ë /l >0.2, where l is the incident wavelength and as a function of the separation between slits d; we have numerically analyzed: the far field spectra, the energy diffracted along the incident beam direction Ei , and the validity of an approximate diffraction (scalar) property, namely Ei= Ntao/lambda . %U http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/apr/article/view/0/40114
