High-Speed Light Focusing through Scattering Medium by Cooperatively Accelerated Genetic Algorithm
share
We develop an accelerated Genetic Algorithm (GA) system constructed by the cooperation of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and optimized parameters of the GA. We found the enhanced decay of mutation rate makes convergence of the GA much faster, enabling the parameter-induced acceleration of the GA. Furthermore, the accelerated configuration of the GA is programmed in FPGA to boost processing speed at the hardware level without external computation devices. This system has ability to focus light through scattering medium within 4 seconds with robust noise resistance and stable repetition performance, which could be further reduced to millisecond level with advanced board configuration. This study solves the long-term limitation of the GA, it promotes the applications of the GA in dynamic scattering mediums, with the capability to tackle wavefront shaping in biological material.
