abstract = {The bound electrons in hydrogen-like or lithium-like heavy
ions experience extremely strong electric and magnetic
fields in the surrounding of the nucleus. Laser spectroscopy
of the ground-state hyperfine splitting in the lead region
provides a sensitive tool to test strong-field quantum
electro dynamics (QED), especially in the magnetic sector.
Previous measurements on hydrogen-like systems performed in
an electron-beam ion trap (EBIT) or at the experimental
storage ring (ESR) were experimentally limited in accuracy
due to statistics, the large Doppler broadening and the ion
energy. The full potential of the QED test can only be
exploited if measurements for hydrogen- and lithium-like
ions are performed with accuracy improved by 2-3 orders of
magnitude. Therefore, the new Penning trap setup SPECTRAP -
dedicated for laser spectroscopy on trapped and cooled
highly charged ions - is currently commissioned at GSI
Darmstadt. Heavy highly charged ions will be delivered to
this trap by the HITRAP facility in the future. rnrnSPECTRAP
is a cylindrical Penning trap with axial access for external
ion injection and radial optical access mounted inside a
cold-bore superconducting Helmholtz-type split-coil magnet.
To reach the targeted accuracy in laser spectroscopy, an
efficient and fast cooling process for the highly charged
ions must be employed. This can be realized by sympathetic
cooling with a cloud of laser-cooled light ions. Within this
thesis work, a laser system and an ion source for the
production of such a 24Mg+ ion cloud was developed and
commissioned at SPECTRAP. An all-solid-state laser system
for the generation of 279.6 nm light was designed and built.
It consists of a fiber laser at 1118.5 nm followed by
frequency quadrupling using two successive second-harmonic
generation stages with actively stabilized ring resonators
and nonlinear crystals. The laser system can deliver more
than 15 mW of UV laser power under optimal conditions and
requires little maintenance. rnAdditionally, a Mg+ ion
source based on the electron-impact ionization of a Mg
atomic beam was developed for pulsed injection into the
trap. It was demonstrated that it delivers ion bunches with
small time, momentum and energy spread, and it was used in
combination with the laser system to create the first clouds
of up to 2600 laser-cooled Mg+ ions in SPECTRAP.
Fluorescence detection of the ions as well as electronic
detection using the FFT-ICR technique was demonstrated. The
analysis of the fluorescence lineshape indicated single-ion
sensitivity and that a final temperature of about 100 mK was
reached within a few seconds of cooling.},
