High-amplitude optical phonons in bismuth are generated through impulsive stimulated Raman scattering and detected through the induced change in the optical reflectivity. Reflectivity changes greater than 1% have been recorded. Phonon dynamics and coherent control in the high-amplitude regime are reported.
