Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel design of a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with tellurite-cladding, three rings of air-holes and elliptical concentration of As2S3 in the fiber core. The combined effect of tight mode confinement (an effective mode area of nearly 0.6 µm2), large non-linear refractive index of As2S3 and significant variation between the effective modal index values of the two orthogonal states of the fundamental guided mode leads to extreme non-linear coefficient and birefringence values, all achieved at the zero dispersion wavelength (ZDW) of 1550 nm. The corresponding birefringence and non-linear coefficient (7 × 10−3 and 28 W−1 m−1, respectively) are more than three orders of magnitude larger than that of the regular silica-based highly non-linear PCFs. In addition, we numerically demonstrate that by modifying the core and air-hole dimensions one can easily control the dispersion curve and tune the ZDW of the proposed fiber to any excitation wavelength ranging from near-infrared to short-wave-infrared, including optical telecommunication windows close to 1550 nm. The superior characteristics of the proposed elliptical-core composite PCF including extreme non-linearity, nearly-zero confinement loss (2.47 × 10−12 dB/cm), the ability to maintain polarization of light, and tunable ZDW can open the door to new possibilities in non-linear optics, optical telecommunications, optical signal processing, and sensing devices.

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
