Two numerical methods are developed for the problem of the diffraction of an electromagnetic field on a system of apertures in a screen. A brief description of the diffraction problems is presented. The first numerical method is based on the Stratton-Chu formulas of the vector scattering model of Maxwell equations, which is more accurate. The second numerical method is based on approximating the physical vector model by a scalar model, which is reduced to Helmholtz wave scattering models. The scalar Helmholtz equations could allow greatly to simplify formulas and to speed up the computation with lower accuracy. Numerical comparison between the vector Maxwell model and the scalar Helmholtz model are shown to determine the domains of applicability of the two proposed numerical methods.
