A theoretical model is presented describing the spatial structure and scaling laws of laser-driven ablative implosions. The effect of inhibited electron thermal transport is explicitly included. Simple expressions describe the ablation rate and pressure as a function of laser intensity and wavelength. The analytic results are supported by extensive comparisons with numerical hydrodynamic simulations.
