      Comparison between computational and test results with gas-filled glass shells is made on a number of devices at various laser pulse lengths, energy flow densities, wave lengths, and conit ions of laser radiation focusing. The computational results are shown to agree with tests as for amount of energy absorbed, gas compression, neutron yield, x-ray spectra, and obscurograms. Results of target optimization for lTw neodymium glass device, as well as of target calculations for obtaining thermonuclear burst and hybrid thermonuclear reactor on the basis of laser themro- nuclear fusion at various wave lengths of laser radiation are presented.
