Time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy is used to study transient changes of the electronic structure in the Weyl-semimetal Td-WTe2 in response to the excitation of coherent phonons. A Fourier-transform of the three-dimensional experimental data yields phonon-mode resolved insights into such coupling processes. Results of our analysis reveal a transient modulation of a Dresselhaus-type spin splitting of electronic bands that is selectively driven by the excitation of an interlayer shear mode of the layered compound [1]. The results provide real-time insights into electron-phonon coupled processes that are of vital importance for a light-driven topological phase transition in Td-WTe2.
