Abstract

By time-resolved reflectivity measurements with sub-10 fs laser pulses at 395 nm, the coherent phonons of aligned bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes are observed for various polarization directions of the pump and probe pulses. In the isotropic reflectivity measurement, we observe the radial breathing modes, G, and even D modes, while in the anisotropic reflectivity mode, only the G mode appears. A complex polarization dependence of the G band phonon amplitude in the isotropic reflectivity is explained by the superposition of G band phonons with different symmetries.
