Pulsed slit jet cavity ring-down spectroscopy with a midinfrared lead salt diode laser
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report the design, construction, and evaluation of a midinfrared continuous wave cavity ring-down spectrometer based on a lead salt diode laser. A pulsed molecular beam assembly with a homemade slit nozzle was constructed and incorporated into the spectrometer. A computer program was developed to automate and to synchronize the timing of the cavity ring-down experiments with the pulsed molecular beam. To initiate a cavity ring-down event, a frequency detuning scheme is exploited to effectively block the laser from entering the ring-down cavity by rapidly shifting the laser frequency. The standard deviation of the experimental ring-down time, i.e., σ(τ)∕⟨τ⟩, was 0.63%, corresponding to a noise-equivalent absorption of 8.0×10−7 at a fixed laser frequency with an evacuated cavity with ten averaging cycles. A room temperature infrared spectrum of methane and a jet cooled infrared spectrum of propylene oxide at 3.3μm are presented.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
