Within the NIR and VIS wavelength regime there are various coherent control schemes. However, for coherent control in the XUV regime two major challenges arise: (i) The technical challenge to manipulate the pulses. (ii) XUV radiation induces typically extremely fast relaxation dynamics, which compete with the coherent control scheme. Ultrafast control schemes are, hence, paramount which can be achieved by using intense pulses beyond the weak field regime. Intense optical fields are known to induce Rabi oscillations leading to Autler-Townes level splittings. We investigate the population control of the respective sub-levels as shown in the NIR [1]. We will present simulations of the expected Autler-Townes splitting as well as preliminary results from our beamtime at the free electron laser FERMI.
