Ultrafast laser excitation of an $\mathrm{InGaAs}/\mathrm{InAlAs}$ superlattice (SL) creates coherent folded acoustic phonons that subsequently leak into the bulk (InP) substrate. Upon transmission, become ``unfolded'' modes and acquire a wave vector much larger than light. We show time-resolved x-ray diffraction is sensitive to this large-wave in Comparison with dynamical simulations propagating strain supports our interpretation.
