Rare gas clusters exposed to strong laser fields at short wavelength have attracted considerable interest in the last decade. The most common way to study the interaction is by time-of-flight spectroscopy of the resulting charged particles [1]. However, recent imaging experiments give evidence that the measured mass spectra do not reflect the charge states that are initially formed [2]. We present experiments on pure and core-shell Xe and Ar clusters to analyze the initially produced charge states by their extreme ultraviolet fluorescence. The clusters were excited by strong free-electron laser pulses from FLASH at 13 nm. Characteristic fluorescence of multiply charged species reveals detailed information on energy deposition and redistribution as a function of cluster size and FEL intensity.
