The experience of target fabrication with low-density and cluster
heterogeneity is presented. Cluster plasma research is strongly dependent
on target fabrication development and target structure characterization.
Ten more target parameters should be measured for experiment interpreting
in case of micro-heterogeneous plasma. Foam and foil targets, high-Z doped
also, are produced and irradiated on the existing laser facilities. The
density of 4.5 mg/cc cellulose triacetate in the form of regular
three-dimensional polymer networks are achieved which is as low as plasma
critical density for the third harmonic of iodine laser light. The
possibilities of varying important target parameters, methods of their
monitoring are discussed. Experiments with underdense foam targets with or
without clusters irradiated on Prague Asterix Laser System (PALS) laser
facility are analyzed preliminary for target optimization. Under-critical
foams of varying structure (closed-cell foam or three-dimensional
networks) and densities are reported for plasma experiments. Thermal and
radiation transport in such targets are considered.
