Extreme ultraviolet radiation, also referred to as soft X-rays or XUV, offers very special optical properties. The X-UV refractive index of matter is such that normal reflection cannot take place on polished surfaces whereas beam transmission through one micrometer of almost all materials reduces to zero. Therefore, it has long been a difficult task to imagine and to implement devices designed for complex optics experiments in this wavelength range. Thanks to new sources of coherent radiation - XUV-lasers and High Order Harmonics - the use of XUV radiation, for interferometry, holography, diffractive optics, non-linear radiation-matter interaction, time-resolved study of fast and ultrafast phenomena and many other applications, including medical sciences, is ubiquitous.

Annotation The proceedings of the May 1994 colloquium review the progress in the development of x-ray lasers and their applications. The colloquium marked the 10th anniversary of the initial demonstration of x-ray lasing and this collection of papers shows the progress that has been made in these last ten years. Among the topics are improvement in efficiency and coherence of collisional excitation x-ray lasers; theory of recombination x-ray lasers based on optical-field ionization; coupling between remote plasmas in an "injector-amplifier" XUV laser system; and a linearly polarized soft x-ray laser.
