Calibrating the Spatial Response of Bio-Optical Sensors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract This article describes an experimental method used to establish the spatial wavenumber response of in situ fluorometers. The method is applied to a fluorometer developed to measure the structure of the fluorescence field at high spatial wavenumbers. This fluorometer detects fluorescence variations on centimeter scales by creating a sampling volume in the undisturbed flow region, outside of the sensor housing. The sampling volume is created by intersecting beams of blue excitation light. To establish the size of the sampling volume and the amount of spatial averaging, the fluorometer and a fast response thermistor are towed repeatedly through a warm, fluorescent plume in a tow tank. The ratio of the measured fluorescence and temperature spectrum determines the wavenumber response of the fluorometer. The measured spectral ratio is well described by the transfer function of a first-order, low-pass filter with a half-power point at 22 cpm. The equivalent spatial resolution is 7 mm. The transfer function model can be used to correct measured fluorescence spectra for the limited wavenumber response of the sensor.

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.
