Characterization of diffraction gratings using a tabletop soft x-ray laser

We demonstrate the use of a 46.9 nm tabletop laser in characterizing diffraction gratings designed for grazing incidence operation in the soft x-ray spectral region. The efficiencies for different diffraction orders were measured as a function of angle of incidence and compared with the results obtained using rigorous electromagnetic model simulations.
