Summary

We present the setup of a high-harmonic-beamline providing radiation in the 100 eV regime by nonlinear-frequency conversion of a 1 kHz, table-top 7 fs-laser system (high-harmonic generation). The beamline consists of a target chamber, a diagnostic sequence and a Mo/Si-multilayer-monochromator selecting a single harmonic out of the broad harmonic spectrum. First experiments from the fields of interferometry and absorption spectroscopy are reported.
