Abstract
Microtargetry for high power lasers (HPLs) offers considerable challenges and opportunities at the cutting edge of the application of microtechnology production techniques. In this chaptermicrotarget production issues are discussed particularly in the context of the mass production of such components which has become one of the major challenges in delivering targets for High Power Laser (HPL) systems and will become essential in the near future as lasers move to application based systems. The challenges of microtarget placement are also discussed.
