In Eq. (2), a typo occurred; it should read as:

$${\text{ORD = 2}}\pi \cdot \left( {{\text{n}}_{{\text{L}}} - {\text{n}}_{{\text{R}}} } \right) \cdot {\text{l}}/\lambda$$
(2)

with λ, the wavelength and (nL − nR), the difference of the refractive index associated with right and left-circularly polarized light.

In Eq. (11), CD corresponds to a differential absorption expressed in mOD.

In Eqs. (15) and (16), a typo occurred. The square of E0 should appear. The correct equations read as:

$${\text{I}}_{{\text{x}}}^{{{\text{out}}}} { = } \left| {{\text{E}}_{{\text{x}}}^{{{\text{out}}}} } \right|^{{2}} { = }\frac{{1}}{{2}} {\text{E}}_{0}^{2} {\text{e}}^{{ - \alpha {\text{L}}}} \left( {{1 + }\frac{{\text{CD*}}}{{2}}{ + }\frac{{{\text{CD*}}^{{2}} }}{{{16}}} - { }\frac{{{\text{ORD}}^{{2}} }}{{4}}} \right)$$
(15)
$${\text{I}}_{{\text{y}}}^{{{\text{out}}}} { = }\left| {{\text{E}}_{{\text{x}}}^{{{\text{out}}}} } \right|^{{2}} { = }\frac{{1}}{{2}}{\text{E}}_{0}^{2} {\text{ e}}^{{ - \alpha {\text{L}}}} \left( {{1} - { }\frac{{\text{CD*}}}{{2}}{ + }\frac{{{\text{CD*}}^{{2}} }}{{{16}}} - { }\frac{{{\text{ORD}}^{{2}} }}{{4}}} \right)$$
(16)

In Eq. (17), a factor 2 is missing. The correct expression read as:

$${\text{S}}_{{0}} { = 2 }\frac{{\left( {{\text{I}}_{{\text{x}}}^{{{\text{out}}}} - {\text{I}}_{{\text{y}}}^{{{\text{out}}}} } \right)}}{{\left( {{\text{I}}_{{\text{x}}}^{{{\text{out}}}} {\text{ + I}}_{{\text{y}}}^{{{\text{out}}}} } \right)}}{\text{ = ln(10)}} \cdot {\text{CD }}$$
(17)

These corrections do not affect the remainder of the paper.
