We report on ultrafast photoindued charge density wave (CDW) dynamics in the transition-metal dichalcogenide 4Hb-TaSe2, studied with ultrafast electron diffraction. Fluence dependence of the lattice superstructure suppression show a phase transition from the commensurate to the incommensurate phase of 4Hb-TaSe2. Unusually long recovery times of perturbed charge density waves indicate th importance of a coupling between the two dimensional CDWs.
