Correction: Ritt, G. Laser Safety Calculations for Imaging Sensors. Sensors 2019, 19, 3765

The author wishes to make the following corrections to the paper [1]:

On page 5, Section 3.1, “The peak irradiance $E_0$ (W) of the diffraction pattern at the focal plane is given by…”, should be updated to, “The peak irradiance $E_0$ (W/m²) of the diffraction pattern at the focal plane is given by…”.

On page 20, Section 4.4, the term $P_{\mathrm{laser}}T\lambda F/{\pi }^3{f}^3$ is missing in Equation (59). The correct equation would be:

$$E_{\mathrm{d}}\left({\mathsf{\Theta }}_{\mathrm{dazzle},\mathrm{d}}\right) \approx E_{\mathrm{mean}}\left({\mathsf{\Theta }}_{\mathrm{dazzle},\mathrm{d}}\right) = \frac{P_{\mathrm{laser}}T\lambda F}{{\pi }^3{f}^3}\cdot \frac{1}{{\mathsf{\Theta }}_{\mathrm{dazzle},\mathrm{d}}{}^3}\cdot \frac{2}{{\nu }^2}\exp \left(-\frac{2}{{\nu }^2}\right) = E_{\mathrm{sat}}$$ (59)

On page 20, Section 4.4, the parameter ${\nu }^{*}$ is missing in Equations (60) and (62). The correct equations would be:

$$E_{\mathrm{s}}\left({\mathsf{\Theta }}_{\mathrm{dazzle},\mathrm{s}}\right) = \frac{P_{\mathrm{laser}}T{N}_{\mathrm{ss}}{b}_0}{f^2}\frac{1}{{\left(v^{*}\right)}^2}{\left[1 + \frac{1}{{\left(v^{*}\right)}^2}{\left(\frac{{\mathsf{\Theta }}_{\mathrm{dazzle},\mathrm{s}}}{l}\right)}^2\right]}^{\frac{s}{2}}\cdot \left(1 - \exp \left(-\frac{2}{{\nu }^2}\right)\right) = E_{\mathrm{sat}}$$ (60)

$${\mathsf{\Theta }}_{\mathrm{dazzle},\mathrm{s}} = v^{*}\cdot l\cdot \sqrt{{\left(\frac{E_{\mathrm{sat}}}{P_{\mathrm{laser}}T}\cdot \frac{f^2{\left(v^{*}\right)}^2}{N_{\mathrm{ss}}{b}_0}\cdot \frac{1}{\left(1 - \exp \left(-\frac{2}{{\nu }^2}\right)\right)}\right)}^{\frac{2}{s}} - 1}$$ (62)

The author apologizes for any inconvenience caused and states that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. The original article has been updated.
