Corrections to “A Quasi-Analytic Modal Expansion Technique for Modeling Light Emission From Nanorod LEDs” [Sep 14 774-781]

In the above-named paper, there was a minor error in the implementation of the transfer matrix method used to calculate the complex reflection coefficient
\(r_{\mathrm {-}}\)
of the nanorod/GaN/sapphire trilayer. The formulas provided by Hecht
[2]
use the convention, where the phase of the electromagnetic fields is assumed to vary as e
\(^{\mathrm {i}(\omega t\mathrm {-}\beta z)}\)
as opposed to the convention used in the rest of the work where the phase varies as e
\(^{\mathrm {i}(\beta z \mathrm {-}\omega t )}\)
. While this inconsistency has affected the results reported in
[1, Figs. 5–9]
, the authors believe the conclusions drawn from these data are unchanged.
