This invention discloses a method for recognizing orbital
angular momentum superposition states based on conditional generative adversarial networks (GANs). The improved GAN effectively recovers and identifies severely distorted vortex beams. A skip connection mechanism is introduced into the generator's
network structure to preserve low-level detail features and improve
image generation quality. Furthermore, a peak
signal-to-
noise ratio (PSNR)
loss function is introduced into the generator's
loss function, forcing the generated image to maintain a higher pixel-level similarity to the
real image. Convolutional attention modules are introduced into both the generator and
discriminator based on the improved GAN, enhancing the network's ability to extract key information. This method effectively recovers severely distorted vortex beams affected by strong turbulence and long-distance propagation conditions, ultimately achieving high recognition accuracy.
