Unidirectional Slow Light Transmission in Heterostructure Photonic Crystal Waveguide
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In conventional photonic crystal systems, extrinsic scattering resulting from random manufacturing defects or environmental changes is a major source of loss that causes performance degradation, and the backscattering loss is amplified as the group velocity slows down. In order to overcome the limitations in slow light systems, we propose a backscattering-immune slow light waveguide design. The waveguide is based on an interface between a square lattice of magneto-optical photonic crystal with precisely tailored rod radii of the first two rows and a titled 45 degrees square lattice of Alumina photonic crystal with an aligned band gap. High group indices of 77, 68, 64, and 60 with the normalized frequency bandwidths of 0.444%, 0.481%, 0.485%, and 0.491% are obtained, respectively. The corresponding normalized delay-bandwidth products remain around 0.32 for all cases, which are higher than previously reported works based on rod radius adjustment. The robustness for the edge modes against different types of interfacial defects is observed for the lack of backward propagation modes at the same frequencies as the unidirectional edge modes. Furthermore, the transmission direction can be controlled by the sign of the externally applied magnetic field normal to the plane.

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.
