We excite a SrRuO3 thin film transducer epitaxially grown on a SrTiO3 substrate with pulse trains of ultrashort laser pulses. Each laser pulse launches single bipolar strain pulses of broad bandwidth into the substrate [1] which coherently add up to form a quasi-monochromatic sub-THz phonon wavepacket. The generation and dynamics of these phonon pulses is investigated by Brillouin scattering using visible and hard x-ray photons. The combination of both methods reveals the excited narrow phonon spectrum as well as the phonon lifetime which is on the order of a few 100 ps in the considered frequency range. This lifetime is explained by anharmonic phonon interactions.
