Until last week, the laser system at STL3 produced a train of pre-pulses th=
at caused tram-tracks in the received data. Tram tracks associated with the=
pre-pulses were filtered during the post-processing stage ( using largely =
automated facilities ). However this had led to some issues of signal ambig=
uity and hence data corruption particularly when strong signals were receiv=
ed. To eliminate the pre-pulses, a new Pockels cell has been installed, and=
as of the 13th September 2011, data from Mt Stromlo should be free of this=
data corruption problem.
