Narrow and wide free spectral range devices based on planar reflective gratings
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A new approach for constructing devices of various free spectral ranges (FSRs) is described. We show that devices with different FSRs can be built around the same aberration-free architecture based on elliptical grating facets. Elliptical facets, combined with double astigmatic point design, are demonstrated to lead to dramatic improvements in reflective grating performance compared to traditional flat facet designs. A discussion on the proper selection of the grating order for devices with various FSRs is given. The proposed theory was applied to manufacture devices with various FSRs. A standard silica-on-silicon process was used to fabricate interleavers with narrow FSR of 0.8 and 1.6 nm. Subsequently, we show how the above methodology can be used to scale the reflective grating design to devices with wide FSR. We applied the theory to produce coarse wavelength division multiplexing filters with FSR in excess of 500 nm. The filters exhibited insertion losses of 2.5 dB and polarization dependent losses of less than 0.2 dB. Applications of wide FSR devices in metro edge and access networks are discussed.

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.
