We report a detailed Raman scattering study of the lattice dynamics in detwinned single crystals of the underdoped high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O6+x (x = 0.75, 0.6, 0.55, and 0.45). Whereas at room temperature the phonon spectra of these compounds are similar to that of optimally doped YBa2Cu3O6.99, additional Raman-active modes appear upon cooling below similar to 170-200Kin underdoped crystals. The temperature dependence of these new features indicates that they are associated with the incommensurate charge density wave state recently discovered using synchrotron x-ray scattering techniques on the same single crystals. Raman scattering thus has the potential to explore the evolution of this state under extreme conditions.
