To address the phase noise issue in terahertz OFDM system, this paper proposes a dual-branch deep learning phase noise compensation network named AdaPhaseNet. The Transformer branch of this network leverages the powerful modeling capability of Transformers for long-range dependencies to achieve long-range phase noise estimation and compensation, while the CNN branch is employed for local signal enhancement. Finally, an optimized signal is output through a confidence-driven adaptive fusion module. For experimental validation of the algorithm, we constructed a photonic terahertz communication system comprising 10 km of fiber and 5 m of wireless transmission. Experimental results show that, compared with multiple baseline models, AdaPhaseNet achieves relative BER reductions ranging from 37.0% to 57.9% and EVM gains ranging from 1.4 dB to 3.2 dB.
