Femtosecond optical pump probe measurements are carried out in order to detect changes in the reflectivity of the material response of epitaxially grown bismuth thin films on sub-ps timescales. Examination of reflectivity changes due to the coherent phonon response provides insight into the ultrafast lattice dynamics and relaxation of bismuth thin films. The pronounced thickness dependent behavior of bismuth is analysed by coherent phonons within the framework of displacive and impulsive excitation models. Here, we show how the competition of phonon softening due to different laser fluencies and phonon hardening from confinement effects can be understood. Raman measurements are carried out to help to disentangle both effects. XRD measurements are shown to help to understand the structural change of the lattice structure. These combined measurements will help to understand confinement and fluency effects in a single model and shows how to tune bonding properties in this unconventional class of materials.
