Neural network feedforward control with projection-based regularization is described. This enables linear parameter-varying snap feedforward control. A physics guided neural network is used in combination with a nominal feedforward control structure. The neural network has meaningful physical input signals and is small to overcome over-parameterization. The parameters of the neural network render machine specific settings. Projection-based regularization is applied such that feedforward contributions explained by a nominal model end up in this model, which are simultaneously optimized, and not in the neural network. A meandering profile is used that renders data that reflects relevant properties of a setpoint, and relevant data needed for identifying the compliant behavior that avoids exiting high frequency resonance behavior. A compliance function is obtained from the neural network rather than a table of compliance values for specific positions, which does not require interpolation or storage of tables.

The photonic device comprises a mode converter and a converter coupling means to offer a form of mode-division multiplexing (MDM), such that light interacting with the functional section may be converted into a different transversal mode by the mode converter, and may be multiplexed back into the functional section by the converter coupling means. The light may then interact with the functional section again, thus boosting the interaction length between the light and the functional section, thus boosting optical amplification or absorption as desired. Optionally, this process may be repeated several times, and each time the light passes through the functional section in a different transversal mode, a further boost may be experienced. Finally, the light may be converted back to the fundamental mode at the output.
