Abstract
This chapter describes the coherent control of optical phonons. We investigate, as an example, experiments and theoretical treatment of the coherent control of optical phonons in diamond, because it is one of the simplest systems. A four-level model consisting of two electronic states with two phonon states is used to calculate the coherent control of the optical phonons. Several selected examples of coherent control experiments of optical phonons are also presented.
