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

In the above paper [1], there was a minor error in the implementation of the transfer matrix method used to calculate the complex reflection coefficient 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 as opposed to the convention used in the rest of the work where the phase varies as e . While this inconsistency has affected the results reported in [1, Figs. 5–9], the authors believe the conclusions drawn from these data are unchanged.
