Coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) at extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) frequencies allows for the investigation of field distributions in nanoscale structures [1]. Here, we study the propagation of EUV light in extended metallic slit-waveguides by means of CDI, utilizing a high-harmonic generation source. In particular, the field distribution at the exit aperture of the waveguides is reconstructed from the far-field diffraction pattern using an iterative phase retrieval algorithm. The exit wave is governed by multiple scattering within the depth of the metal slit, and we find pronounced waveguiding with a significant polarization contrast. Our experimental results show good agreement with semi-analytical and numerical simulations and will allow for new optical elements such as mode filters, polarizers and waveplates for EUV and soft-X-ray radiation.
