In this project we introduce a concept for dynamically-controllable resonant x-ray optics. Using piezo-control methods, we can displace a solid-state target much faster than the lifetime of its resonances. This creates a mechanically-induced phase shift, which can be associated with a frequency-dependent effective refractive index n(ω) of the moving target. Hence, we can achieve polarization control by mechanically-induced birefringence. We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate the approach with a x-ray polarization interferometer, in which the interference is controlled by the mechanically-induced refractive-index control. This setup can be used for temporal gating and provides a sensitive tool for a noise background analysis on sub-Ångstrom level.
