The plasma would then rapidly emit low-frequency ballistic phonons; however this is unable to account for the 300 ps rise time observed here.

To access the evanescent waves, a probe has to be brought close to the surface. “Close” or “near” means smaller than a wavelength (in contrast to “far”) because ...

Retroreflector
A retroreflector (sometimes called a retroflector or cataphote) is a device or surface that reflects light back to its source with a minimum of scattering. In a retroreflector an electromagnetic wavefront is reflected back along a vector that is parallel to but opposite in direction from the wave's source. The angle of incidence at which the device or surface reflects light in this way is greater than zero, unlike a planar mirror, which does this only if the mirror is exactly perpendicular to the wave front, having a zero angle of incidence.
