We study collective amplitude modes of the superconducting order parameter in strongly coupled electron-phonon systems described by the Holstein model using the nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory with the self-consistent Migdal approximation as an impurity solver. The frequency of the Higgs amplitude mode is found to coincide with the superconducting gap even in the strongly coupled (beyond BCS) regime. Besides the Higgs mode, we find another collective mode involving the dynamics of both the phonons and the superconducting order parameter. The frequency of this mode, higher than twice the renormalized phonon frequency in the superconducting phase, is shown to reflect a strong electron-mediated phonon-phonon interaction. Both of collective modes are predicted to contribute to time-resolved photoemission spectra after a strong laser pump as vertex corrections to produce resonance peaks, which allows one to distinguish them from quasiparticle excitations.
