The band structure of a solid is mainly determined by the orbital overlap between neighboring atoms. Therefore, electronic properties are commonly controlled via the chemical composition that determines structural parameters such as bond angles and lengths. Recently, control of the effective orbital overlap has been achieved by periodic modulation of solids with strong mid-infrared (MIR) light fields. The ideal probe for investigating driving-induced band structure changes is time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (tr-ARPES). We have built a tr-ARPES setup that combines a strong-field wavelength-tunable MIR pump source with extreme ultraviolet probe pulses providing access to the band structure of driven solids across the complete first Brillouin zone with sub 100meV energy and sub 250fs temporal resolution. We present first results on driven graphene, analyze the MIR pump-induced carrier dynamics, and discuss the possible formation of photon-dressed states. The excellent performance of the setup now paves the way for the future investigation of light-induced superconductivity as well as light-induced topological phase transitions.
