Photoinduced Fano-resonance of coherent phonons in zinc

Abstract

Utilizing femtosecond optical pump-probe technique, we have studied transient Fano-resonance in zinc. At high excitation levels the Fourier spectrum of the coherent E${}_{2g}$ phonon exhibits strongly asymmetric line shape, which is well modeled by the Fano function. The Fano parameter (1/Q) was found to be strongly excitation fluence dependent while depending weakly on the initial lattice temperature. We attribute the origin of the Fano-resonance to the coupling of coherent phonon to the electronic continuum, with their transition probabilities strongly renormalized in the vicinity of the photoinduced structural transition.
