The invention discloses an automatic
wavelength tuning method and
system for a
tunable laser based on
particle swarm optimization, and is applied to the technical field of
wavelength tuning of
semiconductor tunable lasers. According to the method, a
particle swarm optimization (PSO)
algorithm is taken as a core, multi-target
iterative search optimization is carried out on
initial current-
wavelength data, and in a tuning initialization stage, a
system firstly carries out coarse scanning on three paths of current of a left reflecting
grating region, a right reflecting
grating region and a
phase modulation region of a sampling
grating distributed Bragg reflection
laser; manual intervention is not needed, the
system can complete efficient configuration screening in a given target
wavelength range, the intelligent level of the tuning system is remarkably improved, good
automation capacity and expansibility are achieved, scanning of a large number of
invalid data and tedious operation procedures in the traditional tuning process are avoided, and the tuning efficiency is improved. And meanwhile, a high-quality current-wavelength
lookup table can be quickly constructed, and the method has wide
engineering application prospects in
optical communication, sensing and other scenes.
