Corrections to "Modeling of polarization mode competition in fiber DFB lasers"

The polarization hole-burning model used in the uncorrected paper contain significant errors. A corrected model, which is also valid for the high signal intensities occurring in fiber distributed feedback lasers is derived, and corrected simulation results are shown. Equations (7) and (9) in the uncorrected paper, expressing the polarization hole burning (PHB) effect, contain errors that are of significant importance for the simulation results.
