We investigated temperature (T) and excitation density dependent ultrafast near-infrared (NIR) transient reflectivity dynamics in the charge density wave (CDW) phases of bulk layered 1T-VSe2 using NIR and visible excitations. The data reveal fingerprints of conventional non-adiabatic CDW collective dynamics with rather fast electronic order parameter dynamics showing sub-picosecond suppression and recovery. The slower T-dependent 100-ps dynamics indicates rather isotropic heat transport dominated by the lattice degrees of freedom.
