Absorption in high-z targets illuminated with 527-nm laser light at high intensity using induced spatial incoherence.

We have measured 527-nm absorption for induced spatial incoherence (ISI) and non-ISI illumination of high-Z targets over the 0.5-3.5 x 10(14)-W/cm(2) laser intensity range using energy balance with a custom designed 30-cm diam light integrating sphere.
