Coherent control drew a lot of interest in recent years spanning over various fields of research regarding the promising abilities for quantum computing and precision measurements. Coherent control extended to the strong-field regime is particularly promising for the manipulation of matter and the control of photochemical reactions. In this work, we develop a scheme to extend strong-field coherent control to the XUV domain. With intense XUV pulses, we induce Rabi oscillations in atoms, leading to Autler-Townes level splittings in the photoelectron spectra [1]. In the near infrared domain, the feasibility to coherently control the population of the Autler-Townes doublet has been shown, based on chirp manipulation of the laser pulses [2,3]. To establish comparable schemes in the XUV domain, we implement chirp control of the XUV pulses from the free electron laser FERMI. By manipulating the chirp of the XUV pulses in a controlled way, we demonstrate strong-field coherent control of Autler-Townes states in the XUV domain.
