PHONON PULSES FRQM A RELAXING SYSTEM

Abstract
The spread of polychromatic phonon pulses, following optical absorption by a defect, is calculated up to ~102 lattice-spacings far. Phonon dispersion attenuates the pulse. The angular variation of the pulse peak position reflects the spectral anisotropy.
