Representation for dispersion formula of optical fiber using hybrid technique

Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been used to find the optimal neural network (NN) solution (i.e., hybrid technique) which represents dispersion formula of optical fiber. An efficient NN has been designed by GA to simulate the dynamics of the optical fiber system which is nonlinear. Without any knowledge about the system, we have used the input and output data to build a prediction model by NN. The neural network has been trained to produce a function that describes nonlinear system which studies the dependence of the refractive index of the fiber core on the wavelength and temperature. The trained NN model shows a good performance in matching the trained distributions. The NN is then used to predict refractive index that is not presented in the training set. The predicted refractive index had been matched to the experimental data effectively.
