The emerging technology of soft x-ray lasers has novel applications to microscopy, lithography, and other fields. This article describes the status of soft x-ray laser research with the aim of bringing the rapid developments in this field to the attention of potential users in other disciplines. The different techniques for generating a population inversion and producing a soft x-ray laser are reviewed. The status of current research in the field and the near-term prospects are described. It is expected that the range of potential applications of soft x-ray lasers will increase as their performance improves. Work aimed at increasing the output power and progressing to shorter wavelengths with these devices is also reviewed.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Suckewer, S -- Skinner, C H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 Mar 30;247(4950):1553-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Princeton University Plasma Physics Laboratory, NJ 08543.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2321016" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
