Abstract
The study of the efficiency of high-gain direct-drive targets for ICF has been increased during last years because of the significant progress achieved in laser experiments. Two major key issues have been observed. First, main advances on the uniform illumination to implode targets, due to the techniques developed at NRL1, Rochester2 and Osaka3. Second, lower growth rates for the hydrodynamic instabilitites up to a 30% of the clasical value by using short wavelength lasers.
