abstract = {Ultra-high-resolution spectroscopy provides the basis
behind multiple scientific fields and in particular, for
frequency metrology. The required techniques usually involve
optical frequency combs, which are well established in the
visible and infrared spectral regions. In contrast, the
Vacuum- and Extreme Ultraviolet (VUV and XUV) are barely
explored spectral ranges, mainly due to the lack of a
suitable light source. However, many atoms and in particular
ions of fundamental interest await to be analyzed.
Additionally, prospective nuclear clocks based on optically
driving the low energy 229Th nuclear transition (about 8.3
eV), set high demands on dedicated VUV sources. A possible
solution can be provided by high-power frequency combs
combined with cavity-enhanced high-harmonic generation
(HHG). However, this combination represents a highly complex
approach with great challenges if long-term stable,
low-noise operation is required. This is particularly
important should ultra-narrow transitions such as the 229Th
transition be targeted. This dissertation addresses these
challenges, describing the complete development of a
fully-stabilized high-power femtosecond frequency comb
centered at 1 μm wavelength with 65MHz comb line spacing
and more than 70W output power. Furthermore, important
features including a new oscillator design, wavelength
tuning, adaptation for remote computer control and a
technical interlock, which ensures fail-safe and stable
long-term operation of the system, are implemented. The
dissertation shows for the first time that a
fully-stabilized high-power frequency comb can be operated
continuously over multiple days without interruption,
setting the stage for VUV conversion and
ultra-high-resolution spectroscopy in this spectral region.},
