Abstract
We have measured, with 100 fsec resolution, the sub-picosecond pulse duration of a soft-xray pulse produced from a laser plasma driven by a high intensity, 300 fsec 308 nm laser. The technique employs the cross correlation of a 100 fsec 616 nm laser pulse with the x-ray pulse in high density krypton. The 616nm laser pulse effectively " switches" the absorption of the x-rays in the krypton off and on with a resolution exactly equal to its pulse duration.
