| Summary: | Abstract Supercontinuum generation in optical fiber involves complex nonlinear dynamics, making optimization challenging, and typically relying on trial-and-error or extensive numerical simulations. Machine learning and metaheuristic algorithms offer more efficient optimization approaches. We report here an experimental study of supercontinuum spectral shaping by tuning the phase of the input pulses, different optimization approaches including a genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimizer, and simulated annealing. We find that the genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimizer are more robust and perform better, with the particle swarm optimizer converging faster. Our study provides valuable insights for the systematic optimization of supercontinuum and other optical sources. |
