Abstract

We present a correction to a typographical error in Eq. (27) and Eq. (28) in our article of [S. A. Shakir, Opt. Express 26, 15609 (2018)].

A typographical error in Eq. (27) regarding the average irradiance was brought to our attention by Dr. Douglas Youmans. There is an S term that should not be in the equation. It should read,

I (r, z) = \frac{2 P_{L}}{π W_{e f f} {(z)}^{2}} \exp [- 2 r^{2} / W_{e f f} {(z)}^{2}]

Also, Eq. (28) for the beam width should be,

W_{e f f} (z) = w_{o} {{(1 - z / f_{L})}^{2} + {(λ z / π w_{o}^{2})}^{2}}^{1 / 2} / S^{1 / 2}

These typographical corrections do not change any of the other equations in the article (1). We would like to thank Douglas Youmans for bringing this to our attention.
