Abstract
Foil targets irradiated by the Naval Research Laboratory Nike KrF lase r were imaged in the x-ray region with two-dimensional spatial resolut ion in the 2-10 mu m range. The images revealed the smoothness of the emission from target and backlighter foils, the acceleration of the ta rget foils, and the growth of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities that were seeded by patterns on the irradiated sides of CH foils.
