In the article,[1]it is necessary to correct the signs of the electric field markers in Figs 2 and 4.The revised figures 2 and 4 are presented below.

Fig.4.Schematic for solution of light transport through a single atomic layer represented by δ-function polarized charge and surface current in the framework of transfer-matrix method.(a) Oblique incidence situation where TEpolarized light transports with an arbitrary angle with respect to the atomic layer.(b) Oblique incidence situation where TM-polarized light transports with an arbitrary angle with respect to the atomic layer.In these two situations, the incident angle (equal to the transmission angle) is θ, and we have the ordinary 2D optical problems.
