Abstract
Feauture Issue on Photonics in SwitchingMicromirrors constitute a promising technological platform for implementing optical switches. The free-space propagation of optical signals in microelectromechanical system switches exhibits an exponential decrease in signal power as a function of the distance traveled. The strong dependence of power on distance leads to a wide dynamic range of power losses in the proposed 2D mirror architecture thereby limiting their use to small-scale switches. We present a ZL-switching matrix, which is a simple 2D architecture that is capable of realizing large-scale optical switches. Performance of the ZL-switching matrix in terms of minimizing variations in power losses is discussed, and comparison with previous switching architectures is presented.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
