Description of data:

Folder name
Figure1: 	Dataset corresponding to the colormap DOP shown in middle inset of Figure 1

Figure2: 	Text files 'Fig_2a', 'Fig_2b', 'Fig_2c', and 'Fig_2d' contain pump power and QWP coordinates for S_0, DOP, DLP, and S_3 data in Figures 2(a,b,c,d) respectively. Subfolders 'Fig_2e' and 'Fig_2f' contain three text files each containing the Stokes parameters of the datapoints in Figures 2(e,f) corresponding to colored dashed lines in Figures 2(b,d) respectively.
			
Figure3:	Text file 'fig3_a' contains experimental data on S_1, S_2, S_3, and DOP displayed in Figure 3(a). Subfolder 'fig3_b' contains both experimental (text format) and theoretical (dat format) data for Figure 3(b).

Figure4: 	Text files 'Fig_4a', 'Fig_4b', 'Fig_4c', and 'Fig_4d' contain experimental data for Figures 4(a,b,c,d). Text files 'Fig_4e', 'Fig_4f', and 'Fig_4g' contain simulation data for Figures 4(e,f,g). Subfolder 'Fig_4h' contains two text files labeled 'Exp.' and 'Simulation' corresponding to Figure 4(h).

Figure5:	Text files 'Fig_5a', 'Fig_5b', and 'Fig_5c' contain experimental data for Figures 5(a,b,c).

Figure6: 	Dat files 'Fig_6a', 'Fig_6b', and 'Fig_6c' contain data for Figures 6(a,b,c). Dat files 'Fig_6d_phi' and 'Fig_6d_z' contain the vertical and horizontal coordinates for data in Figure 6(d). Dat files 'Fig_6e_phi' and 'Fig_6e_z' contain the vertical and horizontal coordinates for data in Figure 6(e). Dat file 'Fig_6f' contains the S_1, S_2, and S_3 Stokes component data in Figure 6(d).

Figure8:	Two excel and three text files that contain experimental data for Figure 8.

Figure9:	16 text files which contain the experimental data corresponding to the panels of Figure 9.

Figure10:	4 text files which contain the experimental data corresponding to the panels of Figure 10.

Figure11:	4 text files which contain the experimental data corresponding to the panels of Figure 11.

Figure12:	17 dat files which contain the simulation data corresponding to the panels of Figure 12. Files 'power.dat' and 'qwp.dat' contain the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the panels.

Figure13:	3 dat files which contain the simulation data corresponding to the panels of Figure 13. 

Figure14:	6 dat files which contain the simulation data corresponding to the panels of Figure 14. Files 'Fig14a.dat' and 'Fig14b.dat' contain colormap data for Figures 4(a,b) respectively. Files 'Fig14a_omega.dat' and 'Fig14a_r.dat' contain the horizontal and vertical coordinates of Figure 4(a). Files 'Fig14a_g.dat' and 'Fig14a_r.dat' contain the horizontal and vertical coordinates of Figure 4(b).
