Integral harmonic intensities in the radiation scattered from nanosecond 10.6‐&mgr;m laser‐target interaction have been studied as a function of laser energy and target orientation. Measurements suggest a power‐law dependence of scattered harmonic intensity with increasing laser intensity,In&ohgr;0∝In&ohgr;0, up to ∼1×1014W/cm2incident with evidence of saturation above this level. The scattered harmonic light at 7&ohgr;0was found to be fairly isotropic in front of the target.
