Thermo-optic VO2-based silicon waveguide mid-infrared router with asymmetric activation thresholds and large bi-stability: errata

Abstract

The authors report an error in the phrasing and citation of the reference to simulation model input data in [Opt. Express 31(14), 23260 202310.1364/OE.493895]. The original phrasing misplaced “heat capacity” after the in-text citation, where the intended phrase was “electrical conductivity,” and heat capacity was intended to be cited with thermal conductivity as external measured data. In the reference itself, the source cited for thermal conductivity and heat capacity was errantly cited as H. Kizuka, et al., Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 54, 053201 (2015)10.7567/JJAP.54.053201. The JJAP paper shows data for both thermal properties of VO2; however, the data utilized for our model input parameters are found in [J. Miranda, et al., Phys. Rev. B 98, 075144 (2018)], including heat capacity data reproduced therein from [T. Kawakubo and T. Nakagawa, J. Phys. Soc. Jap. 19, 4 (1964)]. There are no effects on the simulated data nor conclusions of this article due to the error.
