We report on pump-probe reflectivity measurements with 30 fs temporal resolution in a 170 nm thick CdZnTe waveguiding layer cladded between 100 nm width CdMgTe cap and 400 nm thick buffer layer. In order to excite and detect guiding modes gold gratings with periods from 230 to 310 nm are patterned at the top of the sample. Steady state measurements show distinct polarization, angle and wavelength-dependent features indicating the dispersion of waveguiding modes and their interaction with the excitonic resonance at 760 nm wavelength. The transient optical response is strongly influenced by the polarization of pump and probe beams as well as the grating period. The largest modulation depth is observed when the modes are resonantly excited in TM-polarization. We observe clear signatures of free induction decay at negative delay times when the probe reaches the sample earlier than the pump pulse with coherence times of 80-120 fs at T=10K.
