Abstract: We report the transient optical pump-probe reflectivity measurements on single and double layer cuprate single crystals and thin films of ten different stoichiometries. We find that with sufficiently low fluence the relaxation time ( $\tau_{R})$ of all samples exhibits a power law divergence with temperature $(T): \tau_{R} \propto T^{-3 \pm 0.5}$ . Further, the divergence has an onset temperature above the superconducting transition temperature for all superconducting samples. Possible causes of this divergence are discussed.
