Abstract
This study reports z-scan measurements in which high-repetition-rate and reduced repetition-rate (pulse-picked) laser beams were employed using a standard sample, carbon disulfide (CS2) contained in supposedly high damage-threshold spectroscopic-grade pristine fused-quartz cuvettes. The results suggest that at reduced repetition rates, the closed aperture z-scan profile for CS2 displays the expected configuration. However, at high repetition-rates the closed aperture z-scans are distinctly different resulting in unexpectedly large nonlinear refractive index of CS2 due to thermal effects that resulted in below-threshold laser-induced damage of the cuvettes. Normaski microscope images confirm the damage and open aperture z-scan study of the damaged fused-quartz cuvettes yielded about two orders of magnitude enhancement in the nonlinear absorption coefficient of silica. Based on these findings, the necessary criterion for recognizing below-threshold laser-induced damage in any high-repetition-rate laser z-scan measurement has been formulated in order to help avoid erroneous interpretation of the origin and strength of nonlinear response in such studies.

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
