Abstract

A hybrid algorithm based on the simulated annealing algorithm and the iterative algorithm is proposed for the design of diffractive optical element (DOE) to shape the laser beams. The algorithm has the global optimization ability of simulated annealing algorithm as well as the local optimization ability of iterative algorithm. Comparisons between the hybrid algorithm and other two optimization algorithms show that the hybrid algorithm has satisfactory convergence property and design accuracy. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the diffraction efficiency of the DOE is higher than 94% and non-uniformity is less than 1%. Therefore, this algorithm can be well applied in the field of beam shaping.
