Abstract
Silver ion-exchanged glass exhibits nonlinear optical properties upon interacting with intense light beams. The thermal effect due to the nanoparticles' light-absorption induces radial stress, and consequently, a radial birefringence on the glass surface. The induced birefringence possesses a topological charge of 1 in the transverse plane of the glass, i.e., cylindrical symmetry. Therefore, when the glass is illuminated with a circularly polarized light beam, a portion of the incoming beam flips its polarization handedness, since the plate is birefringent, and gains an orbital angular momentum of ±2 in units of the Planck constant. This is referred to as optical spin-to-orbital angular momentum conversion, and can be understood by means of the Pancharatnam-Berry phase. Here, we design a pump-probe setup to study and observe the dynamics of optical angular momentum coupling in real time. We show that this effect can be permanent or reversible, depending on the power and interaction time of the pump beam. In particular, an intrinsic power-dependent birefringence hysteresis is observed on the sample after interaction with and the relaxation of the irradiated point.

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
