Lightwave ARPES, a recent development of time- and angle-resolved photoemission (APRES), makes it possible to explore light-matter interaction in the strong field regime with subcycle time resolution. Our first experiment employed electric fields of a few kV/cm from a THz wave to induce electrical surface currents [1]. Recently, we demonstrated subcycle time-resolution at mid-infrared frequencies of 25-40 THz and electric fields in the MV/cm range. Under these conditions, Floquet-Bloch sidebands of the Dirac state build up and our experiments reveals that this occurs already in the second optical cycle of the driving field [2]. A wealth of new opportunities for lightwave ARPES arise from laser high-harmonics for photo¬emission. In combination with orbital tomography [3] it should, e.g., become possible to take slow-motion movies of molecular orbitals while chemical bonds are formed or broken. I will briefly discuss challenges that need to be overcome in order to perform time-resolved photoemission experiments under such extreme conditions and discuss the perspec-tives to achieve attosecond time resolution in lightwave APRES.
