97 There are four common (sometimes overlapping) situations that
98 authors should use as guidance. These are provided as minimal models,
99 and authors should feel free to include any additional details that may
100 be relevant.

101 1. When datasets are included as integral supplementary material in

102 the paper, they must be declared (e.g., as "Dataset 1" following our
103 current supplementary materials policy) and cited in the DAS, and
104 should appear in the references.

105 Data availability. Data underlying the results presented in this

106 paper are available in Dataset 1, Ref. [3].

107 2. When datasets are cited but not submitted as integral supplemen-
108 tary material, they must be cited in the DAS and should appear in
109 the references.

110 Data availability. Data underlying the results presented in this
111 paper are available in Ref. [3].

112 3. If the data generated or analyzed as part of the research are not
113 publicly available, that should be stated. Authors are encouraged
114 to explain why (e.g. the data may be restricted for privacy reasons),
115 and how the data might be obtained or accessed in the future.

116 Data availability. Data underlying the results presented in this

117 paper are not publicly available at this time but may be obtained
118 from the authors upon reasonable request.

119 4. If no data were generated or analyzed in the presented research,

120 that should be stated.

121 Data availability. No data were generated or analyzed in the

122 presented research.

123 Supplemental document. See Supplement 1 for supporting content.

124 7. REFERENCES
125 Note that Optics Letters and Optica short articles use an abbrevi-
126 ated reference style. Citations to journal articles should omit the
127 article title and final page number; this abbreviated reference
128 style is produced automatically when the Optics Letters journal
129 option is selected in the template, if you are using a .bib file for
130 your references.
131 However, full references (to aid the editor and reviewers)
132 must be included as well on a fifth informational page that
133 will not count against page length; again this will be produced
134 automatically if you are using a .bib file.

135 Add citations manually or use BibTeX. See [1–5].
