Eschenlohr et al. reply

We welcome the Correspondence by Khorsand et al.1 as it gives us the opportunity to correct a mistake in our Article2 and clarify further our findings. The main criticism raised by Khorsand et al. concerns the estimated pump-laser absorption in individual layers of our Au/Ni sample.
