We report observations in diamond of buildup of acoustic phonons well out in the Brillouin zone. The acoustic phonon generation accompanies strong pumping by harmonic k≈0 optical phonons. Phonons are detected by their effect on impurity fluorescence. The Orbach phonon breakdown mechanism is calculated to play an important role.
