A new application of a synchronously mode-locked dye laser has been demonstrated. The 1086-cm−1 optical phonon of calcite was coherently excited by the pump and dye laser pulses and its dephasing time measured. The result, 7.1±1 ps at room temperature, agrees well with the Raman linewidth measured on the same sample.
