Abstract
Fiber optical parametric oscillators (FOPOs) are compact optical sources of coherent and broadly tunable light compatible with operation in unconventional spectral bands. Highly nonlinear silica fibers have enabled the development of FOPOs in the telecommunication wavelength band, but the strong material absorption of silica glass at wavelengths >2 µm limits its applicability in the mid-infrared (MIR) spectral range. In this work, we overcome this issue and report a FOPO designed entirely out of soft glass fiber. For this purpose, we combine an As 2 Se 3 single-mode fiber coupler, an As 2 Se 3 parametric gain medium, and a low-loss ZBLAN delay fiber to build the first all-fiber laser cavity made of soft glass. Two proof-of-concept FOPOs are presented, one driven by pure parametric gain leading to wavelength-tunable Stokes emission within the range 2.088–2.139 µm, and the other driven by Raman-assisted parametric gain leading to Stokes emission within the range 2.023–2.048 µm. This demonstration is a promising first step toward the development of fully fiberized MIR light sources.

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
