This work investigates second harmonic generation (SHG) at a time-varying interface between air and a 310 nm Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) film. Optical pumping induces a modulation contrast at the second harmonic wavelength up to 93%, resulting in significant frequency broadening and shift. The study experimentally demonstrates that the temporal modulation of the second-order nonlinear susceptibility significantly contributes to this enhancement. The frequency-modulated spectra from single and double-slit time diffraction are proposed for applications in optical computing and sensing.
