Abstract
We demonstrate a single-wavelength, 344-Gb/s, 43-Gb 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) polarization division multiplexed signal transmission over 800 km operating below the hard-decision forward error correction (FEC) BER threshold of <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$3.8\times 10^{-3}$</tex-math></inline-formula> using an InP dual-polarization in-phase/quadrature modulator. At the receiver, a simplified single-ended coherent receiver with novel digital signal processing (DSP) for self-beating noise removal is employed. Compared with the conventional single-ended detection, this signal processing method doubles the propagation distance and increases the SNR by more than 1 dB. In addition, this DSP method provides 10 dB of the received optical power dynamic range while operating below the hard-FEC BER threshold of <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$3.8\times 10^{-3}$</tex-math></inline-formula> , compared with the no dynamic range for a single-ended receiver without the proposed DSP.

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
