This dataset contains:

* losses_GeO2_SiO2_fibre.txt; The graph shows the attenuation of the optical frobre from a 3D printed preform. 
Column a corresponds to x axis and shows the wavelenght transmition in nm.
Column b correspond to y axis and shows the fibre attenuation in dB/m. 

* Particle_size_distribution.txt; The graph shows a critical mechanical characteristic of the SiO2 powder.
Column a corresponds to x axis and shows the particle size distribution of the siO2 powder in um.
Column b correspond to y axis and shows the frequency in %.
