This paper describes a fast simulation annealing algorithm for the optimum design and applies to beam shaping by diffractive optical elements. The algorithm introduced the corresponding utilities function, and used Tsallis statistic for optimum design. The simulated results show that to converge the incident energy into the desired region with the same mean square error, our method only cost 1% percent of time that needed by the traditional SA. This algorithm brings forward a new and fast method for the design of Diffractive Optical Elements, and potentially for other optimization problems.
