28. In MKS units, there are two different conventions to define (Formula presented) and other related quantities depending on whether or not (Formula presented) is included in Eq. (2.1). Note that the convention we choose here is different from the one used in Ref. 25.
29. Equation (2.2) is valid only if (Formula presented) (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) are defined in vacuum or air. If they are defined in a medium with a dielectric function (Formula presented), Eq. (2.2) should be modified to (see, for example, Ref. 24) (Formula presented)
