Optimal Design for Cascaded Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Based Filter Using PSO
Both continuous and discrete particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms are applied to design cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based optical filter
for the first time.Then the optimal structural parameters (i.e.coupling angles and phase-shift factors) are obtained
by approaching the ideal coefficients with coupling angles and phase-shift factors.In our experiment
a filter of 3-cascaded MZI has been shown
and the relative error between the obtained response and ideal response is about 10
-5
.Meanwhile
compared with genetic algorithm (GA) scheme
the PSO scheme is characterized by short computing time
excellent approach fitness and high extinction ratio.
