Abstract
In high bit rate optical fiber communication systems, Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is one of the main factors to signal distortion and needs to be compensated. Because PMD possesses the time-varying and statistical properties, to establish an effective control algorithm for adaptive or automatic PMD compensation is a challenging task. Widely used control algorithms are the gradient-based peak search methods, whose main drawbacks are easy being locked into local sub-optima for compensation and no ability to resist noise. In this paper, we introduce a new evolutionary approach, particle swarm optimization (PSO), into automatic PMD compensation as feedback control algorithm. The experiment results showed that PSO-based control algorithm had unique features of rapid convergence to the global optimum without being trapped in local sub-optima and good robustness to noise in the transmission line that had never been achieved in PMD compensation before.
