11. An enhancement of the Kα emission without severe pulse broadening has been recently reported in Ref. 8 and in S. Bastiani, A. Rousse, J. P. Geindre, P. Audebert, C. Quoix, G. Hamoniaux, A. Antonetti, and J. C. Gauthier, Phys. Rev. E 56, 7179 (1997), using prepulses in the soft x-ray region, but no figure of the measured pulse duration has been shown.
