Design of underwater optical antenna transmission and reception systems based on ant colony optimization

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study presents a fast design method based on ant colony optimization (ACO) to address the high-dimensional, nonlinear optimization of aspheric lenses in collimating optical systems for underwater optical antenna transmission and reception. The ACO algorithm employs distributed exploration and pheromone-based positive feedback, combined with a dynamic weighting strategy to balance global and local search capabilities, preventing local optima and ensuring rapid convergence. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the ACO algorithm in optimizing collimating optical systems and its potential for global optimization of optical system design, enabling the development of high-performance collimating optical systems for optical antenna transmission and reception.
