The information is outdated and not wholly correct for current state-of-the-art. Discharge plasmas are generally broadband, and are fairly optimized for output power today. Laser excited sources, especially when combined with liquid drop targets, are limited only by the pulse rate of the lasers, which can still be increase by orders of magnitude using synced multiple laser schemes, and can concentrate the power into a narrower energy range than plasma, necessary if one plans to incorporate a multilayer reflective collimator. Moreover, liquid droplet sources can match or better synchrotrons for source size: 0.01 microns is possible. They are potentially cheaper and easier to operate than plasma sources. JMO.
