Dimensionality plays a key role for the emergence of ordered phases like charge-density-waves, that in turn can couple to and modulate the topological properties of matter. In this work, we study the out-ofequilibrium dynamics of the paradigmatic quasi-one-dimensional material (TaSe4)2I, that exhibits a transition into an incommensurate charge-density-wave (CDW) phase when cooled down just below room temperature, at TCDW = 263 K. We make use of both optical laser and free-electron laser (FEL) based time-resolved spectroscopies in order to study the effect of a selective excitation of the material on the charge-density-wave phase, by probing the near-infrared/visible optical properties both along and perpendicularly to the direction of the charge-density-wave [1].
