We performed angle-resolved Raman spectroscopy experiments on lead-doped and undoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ(Bi2212) samples using a 660 nm laser and analyzed the Raman tensor of the phonon modes. The phonon mode was clearly observed at the 60, 103, and 630 cm-1 Raman shifts. The 60, 630 cm-1 peaks were only clearly observed when the incident and scattered light polarizations were configured to be parallel. The polarization angle dependence of the amplitude of the 60, 630 cm-1 peak on the parallel configuration shows a twofold symmetry; therefore, both peaks originate from Ag phonons and the crystal structure of Bi2212 should be considered orthorhombic. On the other hand, the 103 cm-1 peak is clearly observed in both parallel and perpendicular configurations. Remarkably, the off-diagonal component of the Raman tensor of the 103 cm-1 peak showed an anti-symmetry that could not be realized within the known crystal structure of Bi2212. The implications of our findings are discussed.
