Abstract

We have demonstrated ablation of holes with diameter as small as 82 nm in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) by focusing the output of a capillary discharge son x-ay laser with a Fresnel zone plate. We also report the first demonstration of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy with soft x-ray laser light.
