Abstract

The modeling and prediction of the ultrafast nonlinear dynamics in the optical fiber are essential for the studies of laser design, experimental optimization, and other fundamental applications. The traditional propagation modeling method based on the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) has long been regarded as extremely time-consuming, especially for designing and optimizing experiments. The recurrent neural network (RNN) has been implemented as an accurate intensity prediction tool with reduced complexity and good generalization capability. However, the complexity of long grid input points and the flexibility of neural network structure should be further optimized for broader applications. Here, we propose a convolutional feature separation modeling method to predict full-field ultrafast nonlinear dynamics with low complexity and high flexibility, where the linear effects are firstly modeled by NLSE-derived methods, then a convolutional deep learning method is implemented for nonlinearity modeling. With this method, the temporal relevance of nonlinear effects is substantially shortened, and the parameters and scale of neural networks can be greatly reduced. The running time achieves a 94% reduction versus NLSE and an 87% reduction versus RNN without accuracy deterioration. In addition, the input pulse conditions, including grid point numbers, durations, peak powers, and propagation distance, can be flexibly changed during the predicting process. The results represent a remarkable improvement in the ultrafast nonlinear dynamics prediction and this work also provides novel perspectives of the feature separation modeling method for quickly and flexibly studying the nonlinear characteristics in other fields.
