Abstract

In this paper we present experimental and theoretical studies of reflectivity oscillations of an optical probe beam reflected from a single-crystal of bismuth excited by 35 fs laser pulses at deposited energy density above the melting temperature. Coherent and incoherent lattice dynamics as well as electrons dynamics were investigated starting from the reflectivity changes, measured with high accuracy ΔR/R < 10. The complex behaviour of the reflectivity could not be explained in the light of the existing theories. Therefore, we developed a new theory, starting from the very basic principles of lasermatter interaction, which shows good agreement with experimental results. We establish a direct dependence of the transient reflectivity on atomic motions driven by electron temperature gradient through electron-phonon coupling.
