factor εyz should be opposite, and in Eq. (17) the value yo should be given by y0 = (εyz/εzz)\s + z0|.

Equation (21) should read

Moreover, in Sec. V the last sentence of the third paragraph should read: . . . However, even for α ≠ nπ/2, the influence of optical axis fluctuation on coupling efficiency can be in­creased when we increase the value of lm, which means the realization of optimal coupling for larger gap thicknesses.
