Abstract
The advent of hollow core fibers (HCF) in optical communication systems presents both opportunities and challenges for established monitoring techniques due to their ultra-low nonlinearity compared to traditional solid core fibers (SCF). Longitudinal performance monitoring (LPM) is an effective diagnostic method that leverages nonlinear effects to detect and localize impairments such as polarization-dependent loss, multipath interference, and differential group delay (DGD). This work explores the possibility of LPM in HCF systems that incorporate SCF segments. Through both simulation and experimental demonstrations, we show that the nonlinearity inherent in the SCF segments within the link enables continued LPM operation by producing detectable signals. Using commercial transceivers, we validate monitoring of both longitudinal power profile and distributed DGD with HCF-emulating spans. The results confirm that the transmission impairments can still be monitored and localized in HCF systems by exploiting SCF nonlinearities. Our experimental findings demonstrate the adaptability and robustness of LPM for next-generation optical networks based on HCF technology.

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
