Optical wave propagation in epitaxial Nd:Y_2O_3 planar waveguides
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Optical wave propagation in neodymium-doped yttrium oxide (Nd:Y(2)O(3)) films grown on R-plane sapphire substrates by molecular beam epitaxy has been studied by the prism coupler method. The measurements yield propagation loss data, the refractive index, and the dispersion relation. The refractive index of the Nd:Y(2)O(3) at 632.8 nm is found to be 1.909, and the lowest propagation loss measured is 0.9 +/- 0.2 cm(-1) at 1046 nm with a polymethyl methacrylate top cladding layer on a film with 6 nm root mean square surface roughness. The loss measurements suggest that the majority loss of this planar waveguide sample is scatter from surface roughness that can be described by the model of Payne and Lacey [Opt. Quantum Electron. 26, 977 (1994)].
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
