Abstract

The dependence of the nonlinear coefficients on the transverse profiles of the pump and the probe fields, which is especially important for a highly anisotropic device such as the Al $_{\bf 0.18}$ Ga $_{\bf 0.82}$ As waveguide, was not explicitly stated in our paper “Data transfer from RZ-OOK to RZ-BPSK by polarization-insensitive XPM in a passive birefringent nonlinear AlGaAs waveguide.” The four-wave mixing efficiency was also incorrectly presented to depend on the square of the device physical length. Lastly, the influence of the fiber-waveguide coupling coefficient was neglected with insufficient justification, leading to an inaccurate general expression for the detected voltage.
