A dispersion curve for Rayleigh-Taylor growth rates in the linear regime has been measured in planar CH₂ laser-driven foils. The foils were ablatively accelerated with a single, smoothed, frequency-doubled beam of the Nova laser at 7×10¹³0ex0exW/cm² (giving an acceleration of 60μm/ns²). Measured growth rates were about 50% of the classical values. Growth rates simulated with the computer code LASNEX were ~18% higher than measured values.
