Generation of a 1 picosecond soft x-ray laser pulses from an injection-seeded plasma amplifier

Phase-coherent soft x-ray laser pulses of 1.13 plusmn 0.47 ps duration were generated by injection-seeding a solid-target Ne-like Ti plasma amplifier with high harmonic pulses. This is the shortest pulse duration reported to date from a table-top soft x-ray laser amplifier.
