We demonstrate the coherent generation and control of gigahertz acoustic phonons with ultrafast optical pulses. Two distinct acoustic phonon modes, a surface acoustic phonon mode and a longitudinal acoustic phonon mode, are generated simultaneously by irradiating nanolithographic absorption gratings on semiconductor substrates. Two material systems are examined: suboptical wavelength aluminum absorption gratings on Si and GaAs substrates. Constructive and complete destructive interference conditions are demonstrated using two pump pulses derived from a single Michelson interferometer.
