PIDT: Physics-Informed Digital Twin for Optical Fiber Parameter Estimation

2026-01-12

AI Summary

This work addresses the challenges of low accuracy, slow convergence, and high computational complexity in optical fiber parameter estimation by proposing a digital twin modeling approach that integrates a parameterized stepwise method with physics-informed loss functions. For the first time, physical priors are embedded directly into the digital twin framework to construct a lightweight yet highly efficient parameter estimation model. Compared to existing neural operator methods, the proposed approach achieves significantly higher estimation accuracy and faster convergence while substantially reducing model complexity, thereby demonstrating the critical role of physics-informed guidance in enhancing the performance of data-driven modeling.
