Erratum: A quasi-analytic modal expansion technique for modeling light emission from nanorod LEDs (IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics (2014) 50:9 (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 (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 tmathrm {-}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.
