Abstract: | When the article 'Modification of the finite difference scheme for efficient analysis of thin lossy metal layers in optical devices' by O. Conradi, S. Helfert, and R. Pregla was first published in the Optical Waveguide special issue of Optical and Quantum Electronics (volume 30, nos. 5–6, pages 369–373) the authors' affiliation given was incorrect. The article is printed again in full with the original pagination and credit lines. A misprint in the Results section has been corrected as well: the refractive index of both silver layers is 0.14–j11.0 at a wavelength of = 1523 nm, and not 0.41–j11.0. |
