Published: January 2012

Gagliardi et al. (Reports, 19 November 2010, p. 1081) described an ultrahigh-resolution fiber-optic strain sensor. This comment addresses an error in the calculation of the fundamental thermodynamic noise in optical fiber resonators and shows that the actual thermodynamic noise level is lower by a factor of at least 11 than that calculated.
