abstract = {The generation of below-threshold harmonics in gas-jets
constitutes a promising path towards optical frequency combs
in the vacuum ultra-violet (VUV) spectral range. Of
particular interest is the 150 nm range, which can be
exploited to probe the nuclear isomeric transition of the
Thorium-229 isotope. Using widely available high-power,
high-repetition-rate Ytterbium-based laser sources, VUV
frequency combs can be generated through the process of
below-threshold harmonic generation, in particular 7th
harmonic generation of 1030 nm. Knowledge about the
achievable efficiencies of the harmonic generation process
is crucial for the development of suitable VUV sources. In
this work, we measure the total output pulse energies and
conversion efficiencies of below-threshold harmonics in
gas-jets in a phase-mismatched generation scheme using Argon
and Krypton as nonlinear media. Using a 220 fs, 1030 nm
source, we reach a maximum conversion efficiency of
1.1 × 10−5 for the 7th harmonic (147 nm) and
0.78 × 10−4 for the 5th harmonic (206 nm). In
addition, we characterize the 3rd harmonic of a 178 fs,
515 nm source with a maximum efficiency of $0.3\%.$},
