Abstract
We report for the first time, measurements of ultrafast transients from YBCO in which the contributions from a- and b-axis response are separately identified using polarised light. A new signal is observed for E∥a which has been obscured in all previous thin film experiments. Comparing the two contributions we find the new signal to be sensitive to T c whilst the signal for E∥b exhibits pseudogap behaviour.
