Popis: Gold disk targets were irradiated with and without induced spatial incoherence (ISI) at {lambda}=0.526 {mu}m and intensities of (1--5){times}10{sup 14} W/cm{sup 2}. The distribution of laser energy on target and {ital M}-band x-ray (2--4 keV) pinhole images of the target were smoothed with ISI. Absorption of laser energy was increased by 5--10 % with ISI. Soft-x-ray conversion efficiency with and without ISI were equal within the data scatter and uncertainty of {similar to}10%.
