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.

"2020-03-12 Metricon results.xlsx" - Is a spreadsheet with the data taken from the metricon prism coupler system logged in it, including averages, standard deviation and error.

"2020-07-15 Microwave chip write" - Contains the raw data files taken from the optical spectrum analyser when measuring the reflectance of the written gratings in the microwave consolidated chip. This folder contains a background measurement taken as the reflection
from an uncoupled fibre pigtail (BG_TM_F_00.dat). The other files are the reflection spectra of the written gratings, where 'TE' or 'TM' in the filename designates the polarisation of the coupled light, 'F' or 'R' describes the 
direction of light propagation along the waveguide, the remaining digits (01, 02...etc) designate the waveguide number. Where 01 corresponds to the lowest fluence in which a waveguide is present, and 06 is the highest fluence waveguide.

"2020-07-29 Furnace chip write" - Contains the raw data files taken from the optical spectrum analyser when measuring the reflectance of the written gratings in the furnace consolidated chip. This folder contains a background measurement taken as the reflection
from an uncoupled fibre pigtail (BG_TM_F_00.dat). The other files are the reflection spectra of the written gratings, where 'TE' or 'TM' in the filename designates the polarisation of the coupled light, 'F' or 'R' describes the 
direction of light propagation along the waveguide, the remaining digits (01, 02...etc) designate the waveguide number. Where 01 corresponds to the lowest fluence in which a waveguide is present, and 06 is the highest fluence waveguide.
