Abstract
The fast ignitor scheme for inertial confinement fusion requires forwa rd driving of the critical density surface by light pressure (hole bor ing) to allow energy deposition close to the dense fuel. The recession velocity of the critical density surface has been observed to be nu/c = 0.015 at an irradiance of 1.0 x 10(19) W cm(-2) at a wavelength of 1.05 micron, in quantitative agreement with modeling.
