Figure 1: Time dependence of the mean square width σ2 normalized to sample thickness L for pressed powder of a strongly scattering sample (R700, see ref. 4, kl* = 2.7(3), L = 0.86 mm, absorption time = 0.9(1) ns) at incident laser wavelength 590 nm and different band-pass filters between the sample and the detector.

    In the reply of Maret et al. in the Correspondence entitled "Inelastic scattering puts in question recent claims of Anderson localization of light" (Nature Photon. 7, 934–935; 2013), the affiliations of authors Andreas Lubatsch and Regine Frank were incorrectly given. Their correct affiliations are as follows: Andreas Lubatsch is at Electrical Engineering, Precision Engineering, Information Technology, Georg-Simon-Ohm University of Applied Sciences, Kesslerplatz 12, 90489 Nürnberg, Germany and Regine Frank is at Institut for Theoretical Physics, Auf der Morgenstelle 14, Eberhard-Karls-University, 72076 Tübingen, Germany. This error has been corrected in both the HTML and PDF versions of the Correspondence.
