The compression experiments with neon-filled microballoons were performed using Shen-guang (1012 W) neodymium glass laser facility. The results showed that the laser-driven implosion compression ratio was about 70, the electron density reached 1023 cm-3, the averaged implosion velocity was about 3.3×107 cm/s.
