We present a new setup for two-color VUV-XUV pump-probe experiments integrated in the FL26 [1] beamline of FLASH II (DESY). A high order harmonic source, driven by OPCPA laser pulses (700-900nm, <20fs), provides photon energies between 10 and 40 eV, which are optically synchronized with the FEL burst mode. The VUV radiation is coupled in the FEL beamline with a hyperbolic mirror and focused in the reaction microscope [2] (REMI) end-station. Spatial and temporal overlap between the VUV and the FEL beam can be achieved thanks to a split-and-delay unit, already present in the beamline. First tests on the harmonic generation and the coupling in REMI were successfully accomplished.
