Cover Story: Decay of Raman active lattice vibrations has been directly traced in time with 120 fs resolution in BaSnO3, SrTiO3, and in KTiOPO4 single crystals. A specially designed coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy technique provided insight into the time dynamics of phonon lines within the range of 350–1500 cm−1. The technique allowed us to perform high dynamic range measurements on damping rates of the characteristic Raman active modes in wide-bandgap materials. The equivalent spectral resolution was as good as 0.1 cm−1 and cannot be attained using other experimental methods. The obtained information is valuable both from the standpoint of problems in fundamental physics and understanding carrier transport properties, including mechanisms that put limits to achieving high electronic mobility.
