Abstract

We observe a characteristic energy ħωc≈2.1 eV which separates regions of different behavior of the phonon intensities in the Raman spectra of the RBa2Cu3O7 system. A superconductivity-induced drop of phonon intensities is found for the oxygen modes O(4) and O(2)-O(3) only for excitation energies below ħωc. This intensity drop indicates an order parameter which affects energies in the vicinity of ħωc.
