TY - JOUR AU - Ido, Tetsuya AB - Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation around 159 nm is obtained toward direct excitation of a single trapped $$^{115}\hbox {In}^{+}$$ 115 In + ion. An efficient fluoride-based VUV output coupler is employed for intracavity high-harmonic generation of a Ti:S oscillator. Using this coupler, where we measured its reflectance to be about 90 %, an average power reaching 6.4  $$\upmu$$ μ W is coupled out from a modest fundamental power of 650 mW. When a single comb component out of 1.9  $$\times$$ ×  10 $$^{5}$$ 5 teeth is resonant to the atomic transition, 100s of fluorescence photons per second will be detectable under a realistic condition.
