Abstract

We present a Ramsey technique using high-order harmonics for high-resolution atomic spectroscopy in the extreme ultraviolet. Pairs of time-delayed and phase-coherent harmonic pulses generated by the interaction of ultrashort and intense laser pulses with a noble gas are used to study excited states of krypton.
