  • Ultrafast spectroscopy directly measures Raman phonon anharmonicity

    What the study found The study reports that ultrafast double pump-probe spectroscopy can directly observe frequency shifts of Raman phonons, which are lattice vibrations that can be detected by light, as a function of oscillation amplitude. It also reports that this approach can separate coherent effects from quasi-harmonic sources such as temperature and changes in…
