Breathing Dissipative Solitons in Optical Microresonators: Figure Data and Code

Data for the figures in the paper 'Breathing dissipative solitons in optical microresonators' (doi:10.1038/s41467-017-00719-w) is provided in MATLAB .mat files. Each file contains structured data for a specific figure, with fields for figure panels and subfields for X, Y, and Z data arrays. The dataset and accompanying plotting scripts were created by Erwan Lucas of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.

Use Cases

• Replicate scientific figures from the paper based on the provided X, Y, and Z data arrays.
• Analyze the dynamics of breathing dissipative solitons based on the experimental or simulated data underlying the figures.
• Validate numerical models of optical microresonators using the published reference data.
• Develop new visualization or analysis methods for structured scientific figure data.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed Nature Communications publication (doi:10.1038/s41467-017-00719-w).
• Includes ready-to-use MATLAB scripts for plotting the data from each figure.
• Data is organized in a structured format with clear fields for figure panels and data dimensions (X, Y, Z).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the provided scripts or the original paper.
• Row count and overall dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data format and scripts are specific to MATLAB (2014 or 2017), requiring that software for full access.
