This paper reviews the major accomplishments in the demonstration of plasmabased soft x-ray lasers in 2009. Advances in shaping the plasma density and increasing the pump power have enabled the engineering of table-top laser systems operating at wavelengths as short as 10.9 nm and with stable and significant average power for use in applications.
