Visible-light silicon nitride waveguide devices and implantable neurophotonic probes on thinned 200 mm silicon wafers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present passive, visible light silicon nitride waveguides fabricated on ≈ 100 µm thick 200 mm silicon wafers using deep ultraviolet lithography. The best-case propagation losses of single-mode waveguides were ≤ 2.8 dB/cm and ≤ 1.9 dB/cm over continuous wavelength ranges of 466-550 nm and 552-648 nm, respectively. In-plane waveguide crossings and multimode interference power splitters are also demonstrated. Using this platform, we realize a proof-of-concept implantable neurophotonic probe for optogenetic stimulation of rodent brains. The probe has grating coupler emitters defined on a 4 mm long, 92 µm thick shank and operates over a wide wavelength range of 430-645 nm covering the excitation spectra of multiple opsins and fluorophores used for brain stimulation and imaging.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
