Our results show that the intense excitation modes at the charge gap edge predominantly originate from the ladder-containing planar substructures. The observed ladder modes (E vs. Q) are found to be dispersive for momentum transfers along the ”legs” ( ~Q ‖ c?) but nearly localized along the ”rungs” ( ~Q ‖ a?). Dispersion and peakwidth characteristics are similar to the charge spectrum of 1D Mott insulators, and we show that our results can be understood in the strong coupling limit (U ? tladder > tchain). The observed behavior is in marked contrast to the charge spectrum seen in most two dimensional cuprates. Quite generally, our results also show that momentum-tunability of inelastic scattering can be used to resolve mode contributions in multi-component incommensurate systems. PACS numbers: The evolution of charge dynamics with dimensional cross-over is one of the most fundamental themes in strongly correlated electron systems. For example, in 1D systems electrons exhibit charge-spin separation [1] and in 2D superconductivity appears upon doping [2]. The electron behavior in materials with somewhat interme- diate dimensionality is poorly understood but of great current interest [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. The doped cuprate com- pound Sr14?xCaxCu24O41 series exhibits unusual quan- tum magnetism, electron-phonon coupling, charge-order and superconductivity under hig
