abstract = "We report new advances in the development of high repetition rate table-top soft x-ray lasers. We have extended the gain-saturated operation of these lasers to 10.9 nm demonstrating a 1 Hz repetition rate laser operation in Ni-like tellurium with an average power of 1 microwatt. In a separate development we have demonstrated the first all-diodepumped soft x-ray laser. Lasing was achieved in the 18.9 nm line of Ni-like molybdenum in a plasma heated by a compact all-diode-pumped Yb:YAG laser. The solid state pump laser produces 8.5 ps pulses with up to 1 J energy at 10 Hz repetition rate. This diode-pumped laser has the potential to greatly increase the repetition rate and average power of soft x-ray lasers on a significantly smaller footprint. These compact soft X-ray lasers offer new scientific opportunities in small laboratory environments.",
