The ARGUS laser facility has been developed to achieve significant laser fusion milestones; high density (greater than 10 g/cm exp 3 ) implosions, high temperature (greater than 10 KeV) implosions, and high yield from advanced target designs. The ARGUS laser, central to this facility is a twin-beam, 20 cm output aperture, Nd:glass solid state laser capable of delivering greater than 3 TW of power to laser fusion targets. At the present time, ARGUS is fully operational, and has produced up to 10 exp 9 neutrons in selected target irradiation experiments. The performance of this facility is described.
