Description
We measured the damage threshold of 10.6-μm light incident on glass microballoon laser fusion targets. The threshold is several dozen microjoules, depending on target size and laser pulse width, and the damage mechanism appears to be thermal heating and rupture. Perforating glass microballoons proves to be a useful alignment verification technique
