The X-ray emission from CO 2 -laser-produced plasmas has been studied for target elements covering the atomic number range Z=6.92. For irradiations of approximately 7*10 1C W cm -2 the X-ray yield was less than approximately 3*10 -6 . Plasma temperature has been measured as a function of incident power over the range (2-8)*10 10 W cm -2 for carbon and titanium and is typically 100-150 eV.
