Abstract
A wide range of x-ray lasers are now being produced worldwide with available wavelengths as short as 35 Å. These lasers have short pulse length (0.1-5 ns), narrow bandwidth (E/AE ~ 1 × 104), and narrow divergence (<10 mrad). Amajor limitation for these existing x-ray lasers is their poor spatial coherence properties, but efforts are now under way to improve these properties.
