Předneseno na konf.:International Congress on Plasma Physics (ICPP) and Latin American Workshop on Plasma Physics (LAWPP),Santiago,08.-13.08.2010,str.28, :In the last decade rapid progress in development of table top soft X-ray lasers is observed. These compact sources have enabled new applications that so far were restricted to the use of large facilities. These lasers that are simple to operate is expected to have an important impact in several disciplines, including surface science, photophysics and photochemistry, and biology. Focusing of these intense soft X-ray beams will open new applications, including nonlinear optics at ultrashort wavelengths, nanomachining, generation of plasmas with soft X-ray photons and lithography. In this work we report on the generation and characterization of a focused soft X-ray laser beam with intensity and energy density that exceed the threshold for the ablation of PMMA. We demonstrate the feasibility of directly ablating holes using
