The authors of this article [1] would like to correct the following:

  1. (i)

    The middle initial of Matthew C. Wingert was omitted.

  2. (ii)

    Two in-text citations have been updated for the following sentences due to errors in the reference list:

The behavior of Ce:Al2O3 is consistent with the low-temperature optical behavior of other rare earths doped into oxides, such as Nd- [38, 39] and Er-doped [31] YAG, that exhibit optical 4f to 4f transitions that are shielded from crystal–field interactions by the outer 5d shell.

The bulk ceramic Ce:Al2O3 phosphors were produced using an all-solid-state, one-step reaction-densification route using CAPAD [23, 31].
