The authors neglected to cite some of the previous studies related to Fourier Transformation in the Introduction section of this Article1,2,3,4. These additional references are listed below as references 1,2,3,4 and should appear in the text as below.

“This concept was first introduced by Azana et al. for real-time Fourier transformation9, where group-velocity dispersion (GVD) directly stretched spectra in the time domain. After wavelength-to-time mapping, the spectrum can be captured by a single-pixel detector and a real-time oscilloscope.”

“Earlier work on real-time Fourier transformation has been demonstrated by Tong1, Bhushan2 and Azana9 where group-velocity dispersion (GVD) directly stretched spectra in the time domain. After wavelength-to-time mapping, the spectrum can be captured by a single-pixel detector and a real-time oscilloscope. Its first demonstration in applying DFT spectroscopy3 was not as practical until the introduction of optical amplification as in ADFT4.”

In addition Table 1 is incomplete and should also include an additional reference5 listed as reference 5 below. Table 1 should read:
