Abstract
We report on the experimental demonstration of an optical-fiber-integrated, nonvolatile transmission switching device. The operating mechanism exploits a cavity resonance spectral shift associated with an induced change in the refractive index of a high-index thin film on the polished side facet of the fiber. In the present case, a thermally induced amorphous-crystalline structural transition in a 500 nm layer of germanium antimony telluride at a distance of 500 nm from the core-cladding interface of an SMF-28 single-mode fiber delivers resonant transmission contrast >0.5 dB/mm at 1315 nm. Contrast is a function of active layer proximity to the core, while operating wavelength is determined by layer thickness—varying thickness by a few tens of nanometers can provide for tuning over the entire near-infrared telecoms spectral range.

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
