Abstract
We have developed a pump-probe soft x-ray laser (SXRL) interferometer and its instrumentation for spatial and temporal synchronization of optical pump and SXRL probe to observe nano-meter structure dynamics. The depth and lateral resolution of the interferometer was 1 nm and 1.8 μm, respectively. By using this interferometer, the initial state dynamics of the Pt surface irradiated by the 70 fs laser pulse was firstly observed.
