Abstract

The rate of change in the acoustic phonon population due to scattering by conduction electrons in the presence of an intense laser is obtained from which the phonon generation rate is calculated. It is found that under certain conditions the generation rate may exceed the phonon relaxation rate and the acoustic phonon system may reach instability. An application is made for the case of an InSb sample.
