Abstract
Photonic topological systems are enticing alternatives to realize multifunctional optical circuits with minimum distortions due to their unique insulating features. Among them, expanded honeycomb structures give rise to topological phases without involving any external field or gyromagnetic materials. Unlike atoms in crystals, the morphology of the repeating element in photonic systems can be tailored, allowing to tune the different interelement couplings. In this regard, traditional circular rods are replaced in honeycomb lattices with teardrop‐shaped pillars to push the “center of mass” outward, thus heightening the intercell interaction. This teardrop honeycomb lattice can provide a broader nontrivial bandgap and better edge‐state confinement compared with a circular rod lattice with the same material‐to‐void filling factor. The approach proposes a novel method to tailor the performance of topological systems by engineering the individual pillars and results in better‐confining waveguides that can be building blocks for designing more compact optical circuits under the same platform.

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
