Abstract:Realization of a PIC32 microcontroller-based polarization control system is described. Genetic algorithm is used for control purposes. The controller measures the signal intensity to estimate the genetic value. To reach optimum performance, the code is optimized by using the best genetic parameter to achieve the fastest execution time. This algorithm consumes low size of memory besides providing fast speed. The implementation of microcontroller allows for more economic polarization control solution.
“…Numerous algorithms have been developed for the purpose of polarization control, such as simulated annealing (SA), [24] particle swarm optimization (PSO), [25] or the genetic algorithm (GA). [26] The optimization algorithm used in this study is the GD algorithm. The GD algorithm can be briefly described as follows: the control signal for the PC can be represented by the cost function 𝐹 = 𝐹 (𝑣 0 , 𝑣 1 , 𝑣 2 , 𝑣 3 ), which is a function of four voltages.…”
We demonstrate a novel polarization control system based on a gradient descent algorithm, applied to a 450-km optical frequency transfer link. The power of the out-loop beat note is retrieved by controlling the polarization state of the transferred signal, with a recovery time of 24 ms, thereby ensuring the long-term evaluation of the fiber link. As a result, data utilization is enhanced from 70% to 99% over a continuous measurement period of ∼12 h. A fractional transfer instability of 7.2 × 10−20 is achieved at an integration time of 10000 s. This work lays the foundation for the comparison of a remote optical clock system via a long-haul optical fiber link.
