研究目的
Demonstrating the customization of nonlinear interactions for tailoring supercontinuum properties using an actively controlled photonic chip and machine learning concepts.
研究成果
The study demonstrates how adjustable, integrated path-routing can be used to access a wide and controllable optical parameter space for supercontinuum generation. Combining this with genetic algorithms allows for the generation of supercontinua with broadly reconfigurable characteristics, offering enhanced control over both spectral and temporal power distribution.
研究不足
The study is limited to sub-picosecond pulses to avoid temporal overlap between adjacent excitation pulses during propagation in the integrated system. The approach could be extended to other laser wavelengths and fiber designs for broader applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses an actively controlled photonic chip to prepare and manipulate patterns of femtosecond optical pulses for supercontinuum generation. Machine learning concepts, specifically genetic algorithms, are employed to optimize the pulse patterns for desired supercontinuum outputs.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The experimental setup includes a femtosecond laser, an integrated pulse-splitter, an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), and a highly-nonlinear fiber (HNLF) for supercontinuum generation. The output is characterized using an optical spectrum analyzer.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Femtosecond laser, integrated photonic pulse-splitter, EDFA, HNLF, optical spectrum analyzer, and fast spectrum analyzer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The femtosecond laser pulses are split into multiple pulses by the integrated pulse-splitter, amplified by the EDFA, and then injected into the HNLF to generate a supercontinuum. The output spectrum is measured and optimized using a genetic algorithm.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The spectral intensity at target wavelengths is extracted from the measurements for each iteration and used to implement the optimization criterion for the genetic algorithm.
