The calculated data of propagation loss of the waveguide in [1] were incorrect; actually, according to the definition of the propagation loss and the measured results, the calculated data of the propagation loss of the waveguide were positive values. The correct data involved in the propagation loss in [1] are positive values; the changes in details are as follows: 1. The minimum propagation loss of the waveguide in fused quartz can be reduced to 0.14 dB/cm in the abstract; 2. The data of the propagation loss of the waveguide are 6.81 dB/cm, 1.09 dB/cm, 0.37 dB/cm and 0.14 dB/cm in the page 4679 and 4680, respectively; 3. Figure 3 is corrected below.

A, as implanted; B, after annealing at 320°C, 60min; C, after annealing at 450°C, 60min; D, after annealing at 500°C, 60min.
