  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. We explore the possibilities of frequency combs generated by femtosecond lasers in ultra high precision spectroscopy on atomic hydrogen at the 10/sup -14/ level and we have done fundamental tests of the fs frequency comb technique down to the 10/sup -21/ level. Further applications arise in the time domain where now the phase slip between carrier and envelope of such pulses can be controlled.
