Abstract
X-ray parametric amplification is a high order parametric process with the capability to amplify ultrashort laser pulses with broad spectrum ranging from the extreme ultraviolet to the soft x-ray. In this contribution, the dynamics of this broadband amplification schema is studied with sub-20-as temporal resolution by seeding the amplifier with a train of 200-as-long pulses at 11 nm central wavelength.
