Stroboscopic time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) microscopy and spectroscopy reveal that an electrically launched edge excitation in a μ = 1/3 fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state produces an immediate PL response extending more than 30 μm into the bulk transverse to the edge when the edge magnetoplasmon (EMP) passes the mesa boundary. The nearly instantaneous nature and downstream-only appearance of this long-range response identify it as the non-radiative, quasi-electrostatic near field. We also observe a broad delayed response near the mesa boundary that evolves on a much slower time scale and gradually extends into the bulk. The coexistence of the immediate near-field response and this broad delayed response shows that an electrically launched edge excitation cannot be understood solely as a one-dimensional mode propagating along the boundary, but must instead be viewed as a structure extending in both space and time into the surrounding FQH fluid.
