We present the results of our most recent experiments on extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft x-ray amplifiers conducted at LLNL's Nova laser two-beam facility. Of particular interest are high-{ital Z} nickel-like amplifiers which have demonstrated gain at photon energies above the carbon {ital K} edge, sub-Doppler-resolution spectra of amplified lines from long selenium amplifiers, absolutely timed streaked XUV and x-ray spectra from germanium amplifiers at a variety of {ital L}-shell ionization states, and gain measurements from neon-like silver amplifiers. The array of spectroscopic instruments utilized in these experiments will be described in detail. This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under contract W-7405-ENG-48.
