An indirect/direct hybrid irradiation cheme of laser fusion targets to reduce the initial imprint of the laser irradiation non-uniformities has been proposed and examined experimentally. The initial imprint of non-uniformities in laser irradiation (direct drive) was successfully reduced by X ray preirradiation emitted by an external source (indirect drive). The indirect/direct hybrid irradiation scheme has been applied to spherical implosion experiments.
