Polyethylene foils and parylene disks 5 to 10 ..mu..m thick have been irradiated by CO/sub 2/ laser pulses focused to flux levels in the 10/sup 13/ to 10/sup 14/ W/cm/sup 2/ range. A CO/sub 2/ laser system, ''Valkyrie,'' fabricated from commercially available components was assembled for these experiments. The switched-out nanosecond pulse is next amplified by two cold-cathode electron-beam sustained amplifiers built by Systems, Science, and Software, Inc. After passing through the beam diagnostics tables, the beam is finally focused on the target in the chamber in the foreground. Some results using this system are described. (MOW)
