β¦ Synopsis
Femtosecond time-resolved reflectivity measurement is performed on YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-Ξ΄ films. Coherent phonons of both the Ba-O and Cu-O modes are observed at frequencies of 3.4 and 4.3 THz, respectively. Amplitudes of both Ba-O and Cu-O modes are optically manipulated by using a pair of femtosecond pulses, the separation time of which is controlled. Coherent phonons of the Ba-O and Cu-O modes are completely suppressed at the double-pulse separation times of 135.0 and 108.5 fs and those amplitudes are enhanced at 270 and 217 fs, respectively.

Coherent optical phonons are the lattice vibrations of the optical branches excited in-phase over a macroscopic spatial region by ultrashort laser pulses. Their generation and relaxation dynamics have been investigated by optical pump-probe techniques in a broad range of solid materials. When probed
