Electron–phonon coupling is an important energy transfer mechanism in solids after ultrafast laser excitation. In this study, we present an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and infrared (IR) pump-probe photoemission experiment to investigate the electron–phonon coupling in nonequilibrium gold. The energy of IR-laser-emitted photoelectrons is shifted due to the EUV photoemission and oscillates with a ∼ 4 T H z frequency. Such oscillation is considered as the effective excitation of the longitudinal acoustic phonon mode in gold through the spectral-dependent electron–phonon coupling. Our study showcases the capability of time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy to monitor the non-equilibrium lattice vibrations with ultrahigh spatial and temporal resolution.
