| Summary: | Wavefront distortion occurs when vortex beams are transmitted in the atmosphere. The turbulence effect greatly affects the transmission of information, so it is necessary to use adaptive optical correction technology to correct the wavefront distortion of the vortex beam at the receiving end. In this paper, a method of vortex wavefront distortion correction based on the deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm is proposed; this is a new correction method that can effectively handle high-dimensional state and action spaces and is especially suitable for correction problems in continuous action spaces. The entire system uses adaptive wavefront correction technology without a wavefront sensor. The simulation results show that the deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm can effectively correct the distorted vortex beams and improve the mode purity, and the intensity correlation coefficient of single-mode vortex light can be increased to about 0.88 and 0.69, respectively, under weak turbulence and strong turbulence, and the intensity coefficient of weak-turbulence multi-mode vortex light can be increased to about 0.96. The experimental results also show that the adaptive correction technology based on the deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm can effectively correct the wavefront distortion of vortex light. |
