28. Note that the initial and boundary conditions for G are consistent since φ (t=0) =0.

31. To enforce the consistency of the initial and boundary conditions for g, we suppressed the tail of the Gaussian envelope such that g (z=0,t=0) =0 holds exactly.
32. To be consistent with Maxwell's equations, the argument of φ (t) should be replaced by the retarded time t-z/c. Since retardation effects are small for realistic probe lengths, we suppress this point.
