Superluminal space-to-time mapping in grating-assisted co-directional couplers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A superluminal space-to-time mapping process is reported and numerically validated in grating-assisted (GA) co-directional couplers, e.g. fiber/waveguide long-period gratings (LPGs). We demonstrate that under weak-coupling conditions, the amplitude and phase of the grating complex apodization profile of a GA co-directional coupling device can be directly mapped into the device's temporal impulse response. In contrast to GA counter-directional couplers, this mapping occurs with a space-to-time scaling factor that is much higher than the propagation speed of light in vacuum. This phenomenon opens up a promising new avenue to overcome the fundamental time-resolution limitations of present in-fiber and on-chip optical waveform generation (shaping) and processing devices, which are intrinsically limited by the achievable spatial resolution of fabrication technologies. We numerically demonstrate the straightforward application of the phenomenon for synthesizing customized femtosecond-regime complex optical waveforms using readily feasible fiber LPG designs, e.g. with sub-centimeter resolutions.

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.
