Abstract

An erratum is presented to correct the errors in two equations in Sect. 3 of [Opt. Express 14, 9508-9521 (2006)].

© 2007 Optical Society of America

The last two unnumbered equations of Sect. 3 of Ref. [1

] are written with wrong indices, and in the second equation a minus sign is missing. The correct equations read

〈 Γ μ; η̅η (ext)〉= cΓ ∑plm s μ;lm ∑ p̅ l̅ W lηl, m−μ (p) 𝒮̅ lm l̅m (p p̅)* W I η̅ l̅m ( p̅)*,

〈 Γ μ; η̅η (sca)〉= − cΓ ∑plm s μ;lm ∑ p̅ p̅ ∑ ll'̅ ∑ m' 𝒮̅ l,m−μ, l̅,m'−μ (p p̅) W Iη l̅,m'−μ ( p̅) 𝒮̅ l,m l̅'m' (p p̅)* W I η̅ l̅'m' ( p̅')*.

An identical error affects the analogous equations on p. 105 of Ref. [2
