We present first transient-absorption spectroscopy experiments with extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pump and probe pulses delivered by FLASH. Applying our pump-probe scheme at photon energies around 50 eV and pulse durations of about 50 fs to neon, we traced strong-field-induced spectral modifications in the bound-electron response of the neutral and the ionized atom. The method also provides in-situ temporal diagnostics of self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) FEL pulses from the measured spectral cross-correlation signatures. In the near future, this scheme will be extended to a multi-pulse nonlinear spectroscopy technique to probe the excitation transfer and electronic redistribution dynamics among different sites of a molecule.
