abstract = "An experiment was set up to measure the wavefront of an injection-seeded soft x-ray laser based on a solid-target plasma amplifier. The 43rd harmonic signal from a Ti: Sa laser was used to seed a molybdenum plasma amplifier operating in the λ=18.9 nm line of Ni-like Mo. A Hartmann wavefront senor with an accuracy of λ/32 rms at this wavelength was employed to measure the wavefront of both the high harmonics seed and the seeded soft x-ray lasers. A significant improvement in wavefront aberration from 0.51±0.04λ rms to 0.25±0.03λ rms was observed as a function of plasma column length. The variation of wavefront characteristic by the time delay between the injection of the seed and the peak of soft x-ray amplifier pump was studied in this paper.",
