Summary
This study introduces a power control algorithm for semiconductor lasers to improve chaotic light output. The new method enhances stability and suppresses unwanted delay characteristics for secure communication.
Area of Science:
- Optoelectronics
- Control Systems Engineering
Background:
- Semiconductor laser systems often exhibit weak performance due to chaotic light output.
- Existing control methods may struggle with stability and rapid response to disturbances.
Purpose of the Study:

- To optimize chaotic optical performance and enhance communication security.
Main Methods:
- Development of a power control algorithm based on linear self-disturbance rejection control.
- Integration of multi-objective optimization and direction preference algorithms.
- Construction of a chaotic optical performance optimization model using an improved multi-objective genetic algorithm with adaptive functions.
Main Results:
- The linear active disturbance rejection control algorithm demonstrated superior stability and maintained set voltage and current values during sudden load changes.
- Compared to PID, the proposed algorithm significantly reduced current ripple (0.55% for PID).
- The directional preference algorithm enhanced the solutions provided by adaptive genetic algorithms, effectively suppressing chaotic light delay characteristics at a peak autocorrelation function value of 0.2, resulting in strong signal bandwidth and complexity.
Conclusions:
- The developed model effectively optimizes chaotic optical performance in semiconductor laser systems.
- The approach offers significant positive implications for enhancing communication security through improved laser output control.
