Abstract
Possibilities of frequency combs generated by femtosecond lasers in high precision spectroscopy on atomic hydrogen was explored at the 10/sup -14/ level. Fundamental tests of the fs frequency comb technique were done. Further applications arise in the time domain where the phase between the carrier and the envelope of a pulse can now be determined, allowing the production of isolated XUV attosecond pulses.
