Abstract

High-harmonic generation (HHG) of laser radiation has led to attosecond pulse formation which offers unprecedented temporal resolution in observing and controlling electron and nuclear dynamics. But the energy of attosecond pulses remains quite small, especially for photon energies exceeding 100eV, which limits their practical applications. We propose a method for amplification of attosecond pulses in the active medium of a plasma-based x-ray laser dressed by a replica of the laser field used for HHG. The experimental implementation is suggested in hydrogenlike C5+ x-ray laser at 3.4nm wavelength in the "water window" range.
