Magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) including magnetized target compression by high energy laser pulses is fastgrowing area of research. Distinctive feature of this problem is presence of initial seed fields (the imposed external pulse magnetic field) and compression of a magnetic flux by laser beams (laser driver) and plasma jets (plasma liner). High-convergence uniform implosion and properly synchronized laser beams (laser intensity > 10²⁰ W/m²) are considered. Influence of external magnetic field on driver-fuel target interaction is discussed. Preliminary test results of magnetized plasma target compression by high energy laser pulses are shown. It can be argued that the magnetic field in terms of vortices plays a stabilizing role, which is manifested in the fact that the vortex structures dissipate in the presence of an externally applied magnetic field.
