### Chapter 4

Page 74. The formula in Problem 3.3 should be
$\alpha_{\rm metal} = V \frac{1-{1\over10} (\varepsilon_{\rm p}-\varepsilon_{\rm m})x^2 + O(x^4)} {\left[\frac{\varepsilon_{\rm m}}{\varepsilon_{\rm p}-\varepsilon_{\rm m}}+{1\over3} \right] - {1\over30} (\varepsilon_{\rm p}+10\varepsilon_{\rm m}) x^2 - i \frac{4\pi^2 \varepsilon_{\rm m}^{3/2}}{3} \frac{V}{\lambda^3} + O(x^4) }$

### Chapter 4

Pages 92-93. Equation (4.38) should be
$\displaystyle \mathbf{E}^{\mathrm{CVB}}_{\varphi}(x,y,z) = E^{\mathrm{HG}}_{01}(x,y,z) \, \hat{\bf y} - E^{\mathrm{HG}}_{10}(x,y,z) \, \hat{\bf x}$
and Fig. 4.10 should be corrected accordingly by changing the labels of the Hermite-Gaussian beams used to obtain the azimuthal cylindrical vector beam. The corrected figure is available at Figure 4.10 (Corrected).

### Chapter 5

Page 122, Table 5.2. The spherical Hankel functions should be:
$\displaystyle h_0(z) = -i e^{iz} {1 \over z}$
$\displaystyle h_1(z) = - e^{iz} {z+i \over z^2}$
$\displaystyle h_2(z) = i e^{iz} {z^2 + 3iz - 3 \over z^3}$
$\displaystyle h_3(z) = e^{iz} {z^3 +6iz^2 -15z -15i \over z^4}$
Thanks to S. Masoumeh Mousavi for finding this mistake!

Page 131. Equation (5.89) should be
$W^{(1)}_{+,lm} = W^{(2)}_{+,lm} = E_{\rm i} i^l \sqrt{4\pi (2l+1)} \delta_{m,1}$
$W^{(1)}_{-,lm} = -W^{(2)}_{-,lm} = E_{\rm i} i^l \sqrt{4\pi (2l+1)} \delta_{m,-1}$
Thanks to Alessio Caciagli for finding this mistake!

### Chapter 7

Page 197. Equation (7.18) should be
$\displaystyle {\partial\rho(r,t) \over \partial t} = - {1\over\gamma} {\partial \left[ F(r,t) \rho(r,t) \right] \over \partial r} + D {\partial^2 \rho(r,t) \over \partial r^2}$

Page 208. Eq. (7.32) should be
${d \over dt}r(t) = {F(t) \over \gamma(r)} + \sqrt{2D(r)} W(t)$
Thanks to Pembe Gizem Ozdil and Gamze Islamoglu from Bogazici University for finding this mistake!

Page 208. After Eq. (7.35), the definition of $\tilde{h}$ should be $\tilde{h} = {\rm Ch}^{-1} \left( \frac{h}{a} \right)$.
Thanks to S. Masoumeh Mousavi for finding this mistake!

### Chapter 8

Page 235. Fig. 8.5 should be corrected by inverting the labels (b) and (c). The corrected figure is available at Figure 4.10 (Corrected).

### Chapter 9

Page 292. Equation (9.65) should be
$P(f) = \frac{D/\pi^2}{f^2+f_{\rm c}^2} + \frac{A^2}{2 \left( 1 + {f_{\rm c}^2 \over f_{\rm stage}^2} \right)} \delta(f-f_{\rm stage})$
Thanks to Maria Grazia Donato for finding this mistake!

Page 293. Equation (9.67) should be
$\frac{A^2}{2 \left( 1 + {f_{\rm c}^2 \over f_{\rm stage}^2} \right)}$
