To conduct precision spectroscopy beyond the optical regime, we transfer a near-infrared frequency comb with 100 MHz repetition rate via high harmonic generation to the Extreme-Ultraviolet [1]. We aim to increase the yield of the harmonics by further compressing the 80 W pulses in a Herriott-type Multi-Pass Cell (MPC). In the MPC the pulses are focused into a nonlinear medium where they undergo self-phase modulation. Multiple passes stepwise broaden the spectrum implying a decreased fourier transform limit for the pulse duration [2]. Using a post-compression set-up with chirped mirrors, we decreased our pulse length of 200 fs to 100 fs. A Frequency-Resolved Optical Gating set-up is used to evaluate the pulse shape and duration.
