27.5  W/m² collection efficiency solar laser using a diffuse scattering cooling liquid: erratum

In this erratum we clarify our previously published paper [Appl. Opt.57, 4008 (2018)APOPAI0003-693510.1364/AO.57.004008], where we used a solar spectrum truncated to a maximum wavelength of 830 nm in the numerical modelling, but did not state this in the paper. Here, we present a graph of the numerically modelled absorption in the Nd:YAG rod as a function of the diffuse reflectivity of the chamber walls using the full solar spectrum, confirming that the theoretical maximum possible absorption we predict is in agreement with literature values.
