The results of the ICF indirect-driven targets optimization performed by ZARYA/ERA code for a better insight into the requirements imposed on both target designs and hohlraum drive temperature to gain the ignition with laser of minimum power are presented. Two modification of cryogenic shell targets for hohlraum drive temperatures in the range of 0.25{endash}0.38 keV are proposed for the ignition. The 500 TW lasers are needed to perform such investigations. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
