All data used for plots, calculations and descriptions in the paper as titled above is included here.
Folders are labelled by powerset_(used average power of the laser) followed by a descritption of the data contained.


There are eight folders, seven folders contains grating's reflectivity data for the waveguides written at seven different writing powers.
Each folder (e.g. 'Powerset1_0.6 mW') Contains the raw data files taken from the optical spectrum analyser when measuring the reflectance of the written gratings 
in the FHD 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' describes the 
direction of light propagation along the waveguide, the remaining digits (01, 02...etc) designate the waveguide number. Where these waveguides number
 correspond to following laser fluences used to write that waveguide containing gratings.
Waveguide number			Fluences (kJ/cm^2)
01						0.7
02						1.3
03						2.2
04						0.4
05						1.9
06						1
07						1.6
The folder (alignmentwaveguide) contains the data of written waveguide, which is used to observe alignment of UV spots and shown in Fig.3 of manuscript.




The discription mentioned above is same for each power set.
