  A systematic temperature dependent study of the femtosecond optical
superconducting (SC) state destruction and recovery in
Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+\delta}$ cuprate superconductor by means of the
all-optical polarization-sensitive multi-pulse spectroscopy is presented. At
low temperatures and a partial SC state suppression an anisotropic SC-gap
recovery-timescale is suggested by the data. The SC state destruction and
recovery dynamics are compared to the recent TR-ARPES-inferred SC-gap dynamics
and a qualitative agreement is found. Using a phenomenological response
function the experimental data are also compared to time dependent
Ginzburg-Landau model simulations.
