Experience has shown that at sufficiently high intensity, laser–target interaction is dominated by long mean-free-path electrons generated by resonance absorption. Experimental observations relating to the generation and target coupling of these hot electrons are reviewed with particular emphasis on results obtained in CO 2 laser interaction experiments at the National Research Council of Canada. Possible applications of laser-generated hot electrons as a direct driver for inertial-confinement fusion are discussed.
