We have used reflective electro-optic sampling (REOS) technique combined wi
th 20 fs laser pulses to detect coherent phonon signals. We observe the pla
smon-phonon coupling mode and its excitation power dependence in InAs. In a
ddition, we interpreted relative intensity of coupled mode L- to LO phonon
in terms of the numerical calculation based on phenomenological equations o
f motion for polarization and lattice displacement. (C) 2000 Elsevier Scien
