The optical path difference between the target and reference paths is fixed and phase shift is then calculated in terms of refractive index shift. The measurement accuracy of this system is limited by nonlinearity error. In this study, nonlinearity error is modeled by multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) and stacked generalization method (Stacking), using two learning methods; back propagation (BP) and genetic algorithm. Training neural networks with genetic algorithm, improves modeling of nonlinearity error in this system. In the proposed technique, a real code version of genetic algorithm is used. Parameters and genetic operators are set and designed accurately. The results indicate that the nonlinearity error can be effectively modeled by training the stacking with the genetic algorithm which has minimum mean square error (MSE).
