AB  - We present a Michelson interferometer for 13.5 nm soft x-ray radiation. It is characterized in a proof of-principle experiment using synchrotron radiation, where the temporal coherence is measured to be 13 fs. The curvature of the thin-film beam splitter membrane is derived from the observed fringe pattern. The applicability of this Michelson interferometer at intense free-electron lasers is investigated,particularly with respect to radiation damage. This study highlights the potential role of such Michelson interferometers in solid density plasma investigations using, for instance, extreme soft x-ray free electron lasers. A setup using the Michelson interferometer for pseudo-Nomarski-interferometry is proposed.
