Abstract:
A chaotic adaptive seeker optimization algorithm (CASOA) is proposed in this study to improve the coupling efficiency and accuracy of a butterfly optical communication laser. It primarily relies on chaotic disturbance to improve seeker search performance. The chaotic disturbance enables the algorithm to jump out from local extremes. Furthermore, chaos is associated with a novel strategy for optimizing search paths with a small population. A simulation and experiment are conducted to demonstrate that the CASOA with a few seekers has an excellent search success rate with few iterations in the coupling alignment. These results indicate that the proposed CASOA can reliably improve the coupling accuracy and efficiency of laser diodes and single-mode fibers.
