Abstract :
Novel applications of currently the most energetic soft X-ray laser at 21.2 nm are presented: e.g. transmission measurements of intense soft X-ray radiation, measurements of ablation rates of thin foils heated by IR pulses, Thomson scattering from dense plasmas, visualization of nanometric transient perturbation of optical surfaces, and ablation micro/nano-patterning.
