The invention discloses a
fiber laser polarization locking
system and method based on
genetic algorithm and
proportional integral differential cooperative control, and belongs to the technical field of
fiber laser control. The invention provides a cooperative control architecture of global searching, gradient sensing and local locking for solving the problems of difficult starting and easy lock losing caused by multiple extreme values of an unlocking space and non-uniform
sensitivity distribution of a
nonlinear polarization rotation mode-locked
laser. When the
system starts or loses lock, firstly, the global traversal capability of a
genetic algorithm is utilized to quickly pull a polarization state to a quasi-steady-state
mode locking interval; before switching to closed-loop locking, a local sensitivity calibration mechanism is introduced, the response gradient of a current working point to control
voltage is detected in real time, and
gain parameters of a
PID controller are adaptively configured according to the response gradient, so that the non-uniform characteristic of a solution space is matched, and
overmodulation oscillation is prevented; and then smoothly switching to a PID
control mode based on
negative feedback to realize continuous
fine tuning and compensation of environmental disturbance. Meanwhile, a local
backtracking self-healing
mechanism based on gradient is built in the
system, and quick
recovery can be achieved when lock losing is caused by disturbance. According to the invention, through seamless cooperation of the
genetic algorithm and PID control, rapid self-starting, high-precision locking and strong anti-interference capabilities are effectively considered, and the long-term operation stability of the
fiber laser is significantly improved.
