The goal of the experiment was to investigate higher-order X-ray - optical sum-frequency generation (XSFG) as a means to study the dynamics of linear and nonlinear optically-induced local polarization effects in solids with Angstrom resolution. XSFG can be used as time-resolved atomic-scale probe of the dynamics of optically induced charge densities. The ability to optically control carrier dynamics in samples at the microscopic scale has the potential to become the basis of ultrafast optical switching of currents and future petahertz optoelectronic devices.
