Optical frequency multiplication using residual network with random forest regression

Abstract

In this work, we present a method for optical frequency multiplication utilizing a hybrid deep learning approach that integrates the Residual Network (ResNet) with the Random Forest Regression (RFR) algorithm. Three different frequency multiplication modulation schemes are adopted to illustrate the method, which can obtain suitable parameters for these schemes. Based on the parameters predicted by the algorithm, the 8-tupling, 12-tupling, and 16-tupling mm-wave signals are generated by numerical simulation. The simulation results show that for 8-tupling frequency multiplication, an OSSR (optical sideband suppression ratio) is 30.73 dB and an RFSSR (radio frequency spurious suppression ratio) of 80 GHz is 42.29 dB. For 12-tupling frequency multiplication, the OSSR is 30.09 dB, and the RFSSR of the 120 GHz mm wave is 36.21 dB. For generating 16-tupling frequency mm-wave, an OSSR of 29.86 dB and an RFSSR of 34.52 dB are obtained. In addition, the impact of amplitude fluctuation and bias voltage drift on the quality of mm-wave signals is also studied.
