Adaptive polarization control for a fiber system based on the optimized AdamSPGD algorithm.

Abstract

In this work, an adaptive control scheme based on the optimized AdamSPGD algorithm is proposed to maintain the stable state of polarization (SOP) of the optical signal in a fiber system. The search space can be reduced by half with the guidance of the physical equation of optical intensity that passes through a liner polarizer, leading to an increase in the speed and stability. Moreover, the robustness is guaranteed by the adoption of AdamSPGD as the optimization object. In the experiment, the input optical signals with random SOPs are successfully controlled to a stable output SOP. Compared to the original algorithm, the speed is increased by 44.73%, and the standard deviation of the required number of iterations is reduced by 21.27%.
