A compact static birefringent interferometer for the measurement ofupper atmospheric winds: concept, design and lab performance
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract. A new compact static birefringent Doppler wind imaging interferometer has been developed for the purpose of observing upper atmospheric winds using suitably isolated airglow emissions. The instrument, called the Birefringent Doppler Wind imaging Interferometer (BIDWIN), combines a field widened birefringent delay plate placed between two crossed Wollaston prisms with an imaging system, waveplates and polarizers to produce four fixed 90-degree phase stepped images of the interference fringes conjugate to the scene of interest. A four-point algorithm is used to extract line of sight Doppler wind measurements across the image of the scene. The arrangement provides a similar throughput to that of a field widened Michelson interferometer, albeit constructed without moving parts. Consequently, the instrument provides a compact, lightweight and robust alternative. In this paper, the instrument concept is presented and the design and optimization of a prototype version of the instrument is discussed. Characterization of the lab prototype is presented and the performance of the instrument is examined by applying the instrument to measure a low velocity two-dimensional Doppler wind field with a high precision (5 m/s) in the lab.

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.
