Local frequency-dependent polar dynamics of strained films grown on are investigated using time-resolved confocal scanning optical microscopy. Spectroscopic information is obtained with spatial resolution over the frequency range . Most of the film is found to be spatially homogeneous, in contrast to relaxed films. A strong correlation between spatial and spectral homogeneity is revealed. In addition, resonant structures are discovered that are localized both in space and in frequency.
