Abstract
The coupling of excitons with atomic vibrations plays a pivotal role on the nonequilibrium optical properties of layered semiconductors. However, addressing the dynamical interaction between excitons and phonons represents a hard task both experimentally and theoretically. By means of time-resolved broadband optical reflectivity combined with state-of-the-art ab-initio calculations of a bismuth triiodide single crystal, we unravel the universal spectral fingerprints of exciton--phonon coupling in layered semiconductors. Furthermore, we microscopically relate a photoinduced coherent energy modulation of the excitonic resonance to coherent optical phonons, thereby tracking the extent of the photoinduced atomic displacement in real-space. Our findings represent a step forward on the road to coherent manipulation of the excitonic properties on ultrafast timescales.
