Abstract

This study describes first steps taken to bring evolutionaryoptimization technology from computer simulations to real world experimentationin physics laboratories. The approach taken considers a wellunderstood Laser Pulse Compression problem accessible both to simulationand laboratory experimentation as a test function for variants ofEvolution Strategies. The main focus lies on coping with the unavoidablenoise present in laboratory experimentation. Results from simulations arecompared to previous studies and to laboratory experiments.
