Vacuum-ultraviolet laser source for spectroscopy of trapped thorium ions

A tunable vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) laser source based on four-wave frequency mixing in xenon is presented. Using seed radiation from two continuous-wave lasers, the system allows for precise control of the VUV frequency and is developed for the resonant laser excitation of the Th-229 nucleus to its...
