Osman, M. Nedeljkovic, J. Soler Penades, Z. Qu, A. Z. Khokhar and G. Z. Mashanovich. TITLE: Suspended low-loss all-germanium waveguides for the longwave-infrared JOURNAL: Optics Letters PAPER DOI: This dataset contains: Data supporting figures 3 and 6. The figures are as follows: Fig. 3 Substrate leakage loss as a function of the air gap for the waveguide dimensions in Table 1. Fig. 6 Cut-back loss experimental results at 7.67 $\mu$m wavelength for suspended Ge waveguides. For each set of points the transmissions are normalized to the transmission measured at the shortest waveguide (0.1 cm). The blue crosses indicate the measured data while the red line is the linear fit. Date of data collection: April and July 2018 Information about geographic location of data collection: University of Southampton, U.K. Date that the file was created: July 2018
