Towards an XUV frequency comb for precision spectroscopy of trapped highly charged ions — •Jan-Hendrik Oelmann, Janko Nauta, Alexander Ackermann, Julian Stark, Steffen Kühn, Thomas Pfeifer, and José Crespo López-Urrutia — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Heidelberg, Germany
Highly charged ions (HCI) with only few tightly bound electrons have many interesting properties for probing fundamental physics and developing new frequency standards [1]. To perform high resolution spectroscopy of cold HCI in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV), we are developing a high-harmonic generation based XUV frequency comb [2]. To reach the required peak intensity levels (≈ 1013 W/cm2) at MHz repetition rates, laser pulses are first amplified to high power and then resonantly overlapped in a femtosecond enhancement cavity [3]. Recent progress and first results of intra-cavity multiphoton experiments are presented.
