DATA & FILE OVERVIEW
--------------------

This dataset contains:

data for paper.xlsx: contains the conversion efficiency and Stokes output power for different etch dpeth, width of rib waveguide;
dispersion data.xlsx: contains second order dispersion parameters for different waveguide structures.


--------------------------
METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION
--------------------------

Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: Dispersion parameters were calculated by COMSOL.
Methods for processing the data: Dispersion parameter were interpolated via built-in functions in MATLAB and then the conversion efficiencis were simulated by the nonlienar shrodinger equation code in the MATLAB.

Software- or Instrument-specific information needed to interpret the data, including software and hardware version numbers:MATLAB R2019b 64bit; COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4 64bit.
