Abstract
We describe a technique for spectrally and temporally resolving the ki lo-electron-volt emission from ultrashort plasmas produced from solid targets with a tabletop terawatt 400-fs laser. The first time-resolved Al spectra (near 8 angstrom) obtained with a 2-ps time resolution are presented. The results clearly demonstrate that the resonance emissio n width decreases as the plasma density increases. The ultrafast K(alp ha) emission component is also measured in our experimental conditions .
