Abstract
The use of two lasers is suggested to freeze microbunches in an optical klystron harmonic generator, and a third laser beam to be sent onto the microbunches. It is shown that under certain conditions there can be intense generation of coherent soft x rays. The calculation of the power indicates the possibility of one-shot x-ray holography.Keywords
