State of the art capabilities in soft X-ray lenses, multilayer mirrors, beamsplitters, and synthetically generated holograms are reviewed. Application of these capabilities in recent X-ray laser cavity experiments, and to the development of a soft X-ray interferometer and a high intensity (≥1013 watt/cm2) soft X-ray laser are discussed.
