The optical system of the Del'fin 1 facility is described and results are presented of preliminary experiments on the laser heating of spherical targets of approx.300 ..mu.. diameter. The laser radiation energy was approx.700 J (at the target), the divergence was approx.3.5 x 10/sup -4/ rad, the contrast ratio was better than 10/sup 6/, and the duration was approx.2 nsec. It was found that plasma temperatures of 800--1000 eV were achieved experimentally.
