We report the application nondegenerate ultrafast mid‐infrared spectroscopy to investigate the acoustic phonon cooling process in epitaxial graphene. We show that the power‐dependent experimental results match theoretical predictions of the low temperature acoustic cooling process. The hot phonon effect in acoustic phonon cooling is observed experimentally, and a deformation potential of 30 eV can be determined from fitting the data. (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
