Limits of nonlinear and dispersive fiber propagation for an optical fiber-based extreme learning machine
arXiv:2503.03649 · doi:10.1364/OL.562186
Abstract
We report a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation simulation model of an extreme learning machine (ELM) based on optical fiber propagation. Using the MNIST handwritten digit dataset as a benchmark, we study how accuracy depends on propagation dynamics, as well as parameters governing spectral encoding, readout, and noise. For this dataset and with quantum noise limited input, test accuracies of : over 91% and 93% are found for propagation in the anomalous and normal dispersion regimes respectively. Our results also suggest that quantum noise on the input pulses introduces an intrinsic penalty to ELM performance.
