Popis: We present a non-linear temporal domain analysis that allows us to choose among previously published attributions of LO and TO E-symmetry phonon modes in the LiTaO3 crystal. The work is based on the fact that an appropriate study of the phonon-polariton regime enables us to reach a better accuracy in the knowledge of the one-phonon dynamics characteristics. The use of a temporal domain four wave mixing technique with ultra-short light pulses is a powerful tool in this respect. Precise examination of the phonon-polariton dispersion gives the e⊥ component of the dielectric tensor. Polariton damping leads moreover to appreciation of the strength of the various temporal responses.
