Abstract
The F<SUB>2</SUB>-laser Nano fabrication Facility at the University of Toronto delivers high-fluence 157-nm radiation at high resolution to micro fabricate high-finesse silica-based optical components. The 7.9-eV photons drive strong material interactions near the band-edge states of fused silica and related glasses that help avoid microcrack formation, a common limitation of longer wavelength laser. The strong interactions provide for small and smooth excisions, offering depth control on a scale of tens of nanometers. A 157-nm beam homogenization system and a 25x Schwarzschild lens provided a uniform on-target fluence of 9 J/cm<SUP>2</SUP> in a 0.25 mm by 0.25 mm field. Larger work are was enabled by synchronously driving the projection mask and target motion stages. The 0.4 NA lens supported the formation of high- aspect channel walls and surface-relief features as small as approximately 500 nm. Both mask projection and direct writing technique were employed. The novel aspects of the optical beam delivery system are presented together with results on fabricating micro-channels, cutting optical fiber, fabricating surface relief grating and cylindrical lens. The results demonstrate broad application directions for fabricating telecommunication devices, general optical and photonic components, and biological devices.

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
