Abstract
In my previous Letter [Opt. Lett. 45, 4907 (2020) [CrossRef] ], oscillation wavelengths corresponding to ${\sigma _1}$-transition line, $ {}^4{{\rm{F}}_{3/2}}({{1}}) \to {}^4{{\rm{I}}_{11/2}}({{1}}) $, and ${\sigma _2}$-transition line, ${}^4{{\rm{F}}_{3/2}}({{2}}) \to {}^4{{\rm{I}}_{11/2}}({{2}})$ were described in inverse. Here, the corrected correspondence between transition lines and oscillation wavelengths is addressed. The correction has no influence on the conclusions of the original Letter.

In the right column of the second page in [1], “${\sigma _1}$-transition line; ${}^4{{\rm{F}}_{3/2}}({{1}}) { \to } {}^4{{\rm{I}}_{11/2}}({{1}})$” should read “${\sigma _2}$-transition line; ${}^4{{\rm{F}}_{3/2}}({{2}}) { \to }{}^4{{\rm{I}}_{11/2}}({{2}})$” and vice versa. In short, the modal oscillation at $\lambda = {{1065.70}}\;{\rm{nm}}$ corresponds to the ${\sigma _2}$-transition line; ${}^4{{\rm{F}}_{3/2}}({{2}}) { \to} {}^4{{\rm{I}}_{11/2}}({\rm{2}})$ and the modal oscillation at $\lambda = {\rm{1063.80}}\;{\rm{nm}}$ corresponds to the ${\sigma _1}$-transition line; ${}^4{{\rm{F}}_{3/2}}({{1}}) { \to }{}^4{{\rm{I}}_{11/2}}({{1}})$.
