In this paper, a novel hybrid algorithm which combines SA (simulated annealing) algorithm with GA (genetic algorithm) is used to design binary optics elements for ICF (inertial confinement fusion) uniform illumination. GA, which is a parallel algorithm, reserves historical information for SA, while SA′s parameter, temperature, is used to control GA′s convergence. Simulation calculation shows that the hybrid algorithm is effective and robust. A focal spot with a uniformity 3.2%(rms) and an efficiency approximating to 90% is obtained by this method.
