Abstract

The authors wish to make the following corrections in their published paper in Sensors [1]. In the last paragraph of page 8, the original article printed “Later, in 2010, Skivesen et al. achieved an improved DL of 6.75 × 10 -4 RIU by tracking sharp fringes appearing in the slow-light regime near the edge of the guided band.” The last name of the first author and the detection limit value are incorrect. It should be revised as follows: “Later, in 2010, García-Rupérez et al. achieved an improved DL of 3.5 × 10 -6 RIU by tracking sharp fringes appearing in the slow-light regime near the edge of the guided band.”. In the reference section, reference number 116 was incorrect. It was printed as “Joannopoulos, J.D.; Johnson, S.G.;Winn, J.N.; Meade, R.D. Photonic Crystals: Molding the Flow of Light; Princeton University Press: Princeton, NJ, USA, 2011.” It should be revised as follows: “Popovic, M. Theory and design of high-index-contrast microphotonic circuits. PhD Thesis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA, 2008.” Reference number 193 was incorrect. It was printed as “Martincek, I.; Kacik, D. A PDMS microfiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer and determination of nanometer displacements. Opt. Fiber Technol. 2018, 40, 13-17.” It should be revised as follows: “Yoshida, S.; Ishihara, S.; Arakawa, T.; Kokubun, Y. Highly sensitive optical biosensor based on silicon-microring-resonator-loaded Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Jpn J. Appl. Phys. 2017, 56, 04CH08.” The authors would like to sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers by these changes.
