Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A multimode magneto-optical fiber based on Tb3+-containing borogermanate glass was designed, fabricated, and characterized, aiming at potential sensing applications. There are continuing challenges in the development of single-mode (SMF) or multimode (MMF) optical fibers doped with rare-earth (RE) ions and exhibiting high Verdet constants, related to devitrification of the precursor glass. Most RE-doped glass compositions are not suitable as precursors for core-cladding fiber production due to devitrification processes and consequent poor optical quality. Application as Faraday rotators is limited by the intrinsically low Verdet constant of silica (~0.589 rad T−1 m−1 at 1550 nm and 0.876 rad T−1 m−1 at 1310 nm). Borogermanate glasses are good candidates for manufacturing optical fibers due to their excellent potential to solubilize high concentrations of Tb3+ ions as well as satisfactory thermal stability. In this work, a magneto-optical core-cladding borogermanate fiber with a 227 μm diameter was fabricated, with characterization using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), viscosity measurements, M-lines spectroscopy, UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy, the cut-back technique, and magneto-optical measurements. The measured numerical aperture (NA) was 0.183, with minimum attenuation of 13 dB m−1 at 1270 nm. The Verdet constant (VB) reached −6.74 rad T−1 m−1 at 1330 nm.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
