Time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (trARPES) provides a most direct access to ultrafast electronic processes in condensed matter systems. Application of XUV photon pulses generated in High-Harmonic Generation (HHG) light sources allows probing transient electronic structure within the entire Brillouin zone and beyond [1]. Typically, it is the pump pulse that limits the time-resolution of such experiments to values of ≥ 30 fs so that extremely fast phenomena such as characteristic melting times of electronic phases [2] or the thermalization of a nascent electron distribution [3] may remain unresolved.

Here we present a HHG-based trARPES setup exhibiting a substantially improved time-resolution. The optical pump-line of the experiment is operated using sub-6 fs pulses at a center wavelength of about 800 nm as generated in an amplifier-driven hollow-fiber chirped-mirror compressor. In the contribution, details of the compressor optimization procedure and its integration into the existing trARPES setup are described. First trARPES measurements on 1T-TiSe₂ are shown providing direct experimental evidence for a sub-15 fs time-resolution.
