Abstract
A compact high-speed beam chopper for ultrafast-pulsed-laser applications is designed and tested. To achieve high-speed operation, the chopper blade is positioned on the focal plane of a pair of confocal parabolic mirrors. When the pulse train of an ultrafast Ti:sapphire laser is focused and re-collimated by these mirrors, it becomes modulated by the rotating chopper blade. By using 360 slots on the chopper blade and a precision-balanced high-speed DC electric motor, optical modulation rates up to 100 kHz are achieved. The application of this system to noise reduction in ultrafast-laser experiments is investigated through interferometric autocorrelation measurements, where it is found that optical modulation rates above 60 kHz provide the lowest noise level.

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
