Abstract
It is shown experimentally a new digital optical decoding scheme based
on the transmission or polarized light at p polarization planes using a
K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm through a single-mode optical fibre
at 633 nm. The optical power signal is sent at p polarization planes
which constitute p classes required for signal bit recognition. Results
show that it is possible to recognize 32 polarizations planes, 5 bits,
using 4 features corresponding to the measurement of optical power at 4
different angles at the photodetector side with an average assertiveness
of 99.1%.
