The generation of hot, high-density plasmas with 3.5 ps, 1 J KrF laser pulsed focused onto solid targets with irradiances up to 10 17 W cm -2 has been studied using time-resolved X-ray spectroscopy. Fully ionized aluminium plasmas were observed, and densities above 10 23 cm -3 were inferred from observations of Stark widths and continuum lowering. The experimental observations were modelled with a 1D hydrodynamic code.
