Abstract

We present a review of new progress performed in several laboratories (Laboratoire pour l'Utilisation des lasers Intenses, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Prague Astern Laser System, Institute of laser Engineering, Laboratoire d'Optique Appliquée). Concerning the realization of X-ray lasers sources, using different laser pumping techniques (600 ps, 100ps, ns/ps, OFI) and the optimization of their optical properties, using curved and plane half-cavity mirrors. In parallel of these developments, we present the main results obtained with X-ray laser in interferometry applications. These studies concern on the one hand the Michelson interferometry with an X-ray laser emitting at 13.9 nm (recently realized at LULI), and on the other hand the Fresnel bi-mirror with an X-ray laser emitting at 21.2 nm (recently realized at PALS).
