All data used for plots, calculations and descriptions in the paper as titled above is included here.
Folders are labelled with the date the datasets were taken (YYYY-MM-DD) followed by a descritption of the data contained.

"2018-01-24 NA system raw data" contains the data used for fitting and extracting Numerical Aperture, Mode field radius and M^2 values for the UV written waveguides and the fibre v-groove assembly. The sub-folders are labelled with the fluence used to write the waveguide (eg: f05 means a fluence of 0.5 kJ/cm^2). Within these sub-folders are 5 seperate measurement folders for each waveguide, labelled with the date and time each measurement was taken. These contain the raw data for each axis (X or Y) and a folder containing the images used to perform the overlap integrals to calculate coupling efficiancies.

"2018-12-03 Cutback measurements" contains a file with the repeat measurements taken to determine waveguide loss through the cutback technique.

"2019-08-13 double end chip coupling" contains a file with the repeat measurements taken to determine waveguide loss through coupling into and out of the chip at both facets for the waveguides.
