Sub-fs pulse formation in a seeded hydrogenlike plasma-based x-ray laser dressed by an infrared field: Analytical theory and numerical optimization

We derive the analytical theory describing the process of subfemtosecond pulse formation from a quasimonochromatic seeding extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation, which propagates in the inverted active medium of a hydrogenlike plasma-based x-ray laser dressed by a strong infrared laser field. We discu...
