Abstract

A discussion is given of selected topics relating to experimental studies of laser-matter interactions under conditions of interest to laser-fusion. The NRL laser system, PHAROS II, designed for such studies, is first described. Some of themore novel diagnostics (probing beam, ion, x-ray) are then described. Finally, adiscussion is given of two experimental studies which yield information (B-fielddependence and inhibition) about thermal transport.
