  • Abstract
    A review of the status of research towards achieving lasing action in the vacuum ultraviolet and soft X-ray spectral regions is presented. An analysis of the general problems likely to be encountered is accompanied by numerical results for those approaches currently considered promising. Progress on each approach is detailed and various possible methods of verifying the presence of gain with their relative merits are discussed. Research areas requiring Application of short-wavelength lasers also are given.
