Perovskite oxide heterostructures can exhibit properties at their interfaces that are very different from the bulk, for example a two-dimensional electron gas [1]. These properties emerge from charge carrier localization or charge transfer, which motivates an interface-sensitive analysis of the charge configuration and charge carrier dynamics. Second harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy is an interface-sensitive probe in centrosymmetric materials, suitable for the investigation of SrTiO3-based heterostructures [2]. We perform pump-probe SHG spectroscopy with <30 fs time resolution in the visible wavelength range (1.9-2.5 eV) at SrTiO3(001) surfaces as well as LaTiO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures, and discuss the polarization-, wavelength- and time-dependence of the observed SHG response.
