We report on the impulsive generation of coherent optical phonons in ${\mathrm{CdTe}}_{0.68}{\mathrm{Se}}_{0.32}$ nanocrystallites embedded in a glass matrix. Pump-probe experiments using femtosecond laser pulses were performed by tuning the laser central energy to resonate with the absorption edge of the nanocrystals. We identify two longitudinal optical phonons, one longitudinal acoustic โฆ
