Simple and highly sensitive method for wavelength measurement of low-power time-multiplexed signals using optical amplifiers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We describe a simple method for the wavelength measurement of optical signals that is easily capable of measuring a 1-nW average power optical signal with a wavelength resolution of 0.1 pm/Hz <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> 2/ while maintaining a large measurement range in excess of 12 nm. The system uses an erbium-doped fiber amplifier to increase the signal level before being measured with a wide-band edge filter. This technique is well suited to the measurement of low duty cycle time-multiplexed signals such as those in multiplexed fiber sensor systems. We show that the measurement of the amplified signal is improved despite the broadband nature of the amplified spontaneous emission noise. We show for the first time that the addition of an amplifier can increase the detection capabilities of the edge filter method beyond the shot noise limit of an unamplified measurement.

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.
