This dataset contains:

Fig. 1b  Contour map showing simulated absorption losses for the SCFs in dB/mm as functions of wavelength and fibre core diameter
Fig. 2b  Contour map of the GVD parameters β2 (ps2/m) as functions of the core diameter and wavelength of the SCFs
Fig. 2c  Profile of the core diameter variation in the fabricated tapered fibre
Fig. 2d  ZDW profile of the fabricated tapered SCF
Fig. 4a  Experimental spectral broadening as a function of coupled average input power. The wavelength converted peaks associated with FWM (sidebands SB1 and SB2) and DW emission are labelled in the top spectrum. The black arrow shows the CO2 absorption dip
Fig. 4b  Comparison of SC generation with different pump wavelengths
Fig. 5    Output SC power versus coupled power, average power (bottom) and peak power (top), for the tapered SCF. Red line indicates linear loss
Fig. 6a  Numerical simulation results for SC spectra generated in a tapered SCF
Fig. 7    Simulated coherence with quantum noise and ±5% power fluctuations shown in orange, together with the simulated SC spectra (blue) for the highest input power in Fig. 4a
Fig. 8b  Tapered SCF profile
Fig. 8c  Simulated SC output spectrum showing more than 2 octaves of broadening. Inset: mode image in the tapered waist at a wavelength of 8 μm
