Abstract

Coherent phonons are generated in the surface depletion layer of III-V semiconductors via the ultrafast screening of the surface field.1,2 In pump-probe experiments the modulation of the reflectivity resulting from coherent phonons can be detected by the intensity modulation of the weak probe pulses. For longitudinal oscillations like LO-phonon and plasmons the modification of the electronic susceptibility is dominated by the macroscopic electric field of these modes leading to an oscillation in the reflectivity.
