Abstract
A silicon-based variable optical attenuator (VOA) is used to overlay optical control data on an underlying high-speed optical data channel. We demonstrate experimentally the addition of a 10.7-MHz (5 Kb/s) control subcarrier with <1-dB penalty to a high-speed channel (500 Mb/s) and quantify the penalty versus control data rate. The modest modulation bandwidth of the VOA enables control subcarriers at frequencies sufficiently high to avoid gain saturation-induced crosstalk in erbium amplifiers, while using the same devices required for channel gain equalization or power control. At OC-192 data rates, we predict that control-channel data rates of 10 Kb/s can be tolerated with <0.5-dB penalty.

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
