Real-time complex temporal response measurements of ultrahigh-speed optical modulators
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We demonstrate a technique for direct, real-time characterization of the complex (amplitude and phase) temporal response of ultrahigh-speed (GHz-bandwidth) optical modulators. The demonstrated technique is based on pulse interferometry combined with time-frequency mapping processes using fiber linear dispersion. A new mechanism is incorporated to overcome the temporal resolution (bandwidth) limitation of the detectable modulation response in our previously reported setup. This mechanism, referred to as 'common-path temporal image magnification', lowers the required detection bandwidth by a factor of more than 10, enabling real-time single-shot waveform acquisition without loss of information using a conventional temporal digitizer. The design specifications of the proposed measurement setup are derived and discussed in detail. As a proof-of-concept experiment, real-time characterization of a complex electro-op c modulation temporal response with time features as fast as approximately 35 ps (modulation bandwidth > 40-GHz) was obtained and displayed at a video rate of 30 frames/sec.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
