Two‐photon measurements are presented of the IS exciton lineshape in GeO 2 between 4.5 and 150 K. With a frequency‐doubled dye laser and a Raman‐shifted Nd:YAG laser the excitonenergy around 4.65 eV can be scanned. The temperature dependence of the total line width can be explained by a theoretical model of exciton‐phonon coupling. Furthermore the results reveal an unexpected asymmetry, which seems to originate from a non‐uniform contribution of optical phonons.
