“…The second zone center mode, in contrast, causes only a very small reflectivity bump. The large difference in reflectivity for the two modes arises from the different phases x between the light electric field and the SAWinduced modulation of the optical thickness along x [11,12]. The latter are in phase (i.e., x 0) for the third mode, thus ensuring a strong coupling to the incident light beam.…”

“…5. The reciprocal lattice is generated by primitive vectors k 10 and k 11 with different lengths k 10 2 = SAW and k 11 2 p k 10 , respectively. The latter leads to different Bragg angles along the 1 0 and the 1 1 directions, as shown in the measurements of the first order diffracted beam R 1 in Fig.…”

“…We recall that the low-frequency zone-center mode possesses the even symmetry A 1 and is, therefore, Raman allowed in the forward scattering geometry [21] whereas its higher-frequency counterpart does not scatter light because its symmetry, B 2 , is odd [12,13]. Furthermore, since the dispersion at is nearly linear, the FP modes behave as weakly-modulated plane waves.…”

“…Graphically this means that the acoustic phonon branch is backfolded into the mini zone. Additionally, a gap in the dispersion curve opens at the edge of the mini zone, scaling with the acoustic mismatch of the materials [5]. When the acoustic mismatch is small, Eq.…”

“…The maximum frequency that can be resolved is limited by the temporal width of the excitation and probing pulses. The observable range of phonon wavevectors is primarily determined by the probe light spectrum [5]. The fraction of the Brillouin zone that can be covered by this spectrum, however, depends on the sample structure.…”
