Abstract
High absorptivity and low thermal mass are two important requirements for coatings applied to thermal infrared detectors. Gold black coatings are very good candidates to ensure these characteristics in the broadband infrared spectral range. A specific deposition system was designed and built at INO in order to provide gold-black coatings for different broadband detection applications including the broadband radiometer (BBR) instrument for the European Space Agency (ESA) EarthCARE satellite. A parametric study targeting uniform optical absorptance within the spectral range from 0.2 μm to 50 μm was conducted. Specular reflectance lower than 10% was obtained for extended wavelength range up to 100 μm. The coating thickness ranges typically between 20 μm and 35 μm, with uniformity of about ± 3 μm over a sample surface of 10x10 mm<sup>2</sup>. The deposit density was typically ~0.3% of the bulk density of gold. To singulate the blackened infrared detector pixels, a laser micromachining process was developed. The setup exhibits a 1μm positioning accuracy and allows for ablation of 3 μm to 12 μm wide channels through the gold-black thickness, while preserving the pixel and gold-black deposit integrity.

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
