The ''Del'fin'' twelve-channel laser facility for high-temperature heating of thermonuclear targets in a spherical gemonetry is described. It consists of a neodymium driver laser with maximum energy -- 10 kj, pulse duration 10- /sup 10/ -10/sup 9/ sec, and divergence --5.10 /sup -4/ rad, a vacuum chamber in which the laser radiation interacts with the plasma, and the devices for the diagnostics of the laser and plasma parameters. The ''Del'fin'' focusing system, which ensures a high degree of symmetry of the spherical irradiation of the target at a maximum flux density on its surface -- 10 /sup 15/ W/cm/sup 2/, is described. The problem of realizing the maximum ability of heating spherical thermonuclear targets by radiation from high-power laser systems is considered.
