It is challenging to obtain nanoscale resolution images in a single ultrafast shot because a large number of photons, greater than 10¹¹, are required in a single pulse of the illuminating source. We demonstrate single-shot high resolution Fourier transform holography over a broad 7 µm diameter field of view with ~ 5 ps temporal resolution. The experiment used a plasma-based soft X-ray laser operating at 18.9 nm wavelength with nearly full spatial coherence and close to diffraction-limited divergence implemented utilizing a dual-plasma amplifier scheme. A Fresnel zone plate with a central aperture is used to efficiently generate the object and reference beams. Rapid numerical reconstruction by a 2D Fourier transform allows for real-time imaging. A half-pitch spatial resolution of 62 nm was obtained. This single-shot nanoscale-resolution imaging technique will allow for real-time ultrafast imaging of dynamic phenomena in compact setups.
