Subject: Dual-wavelength data from Zimmerwald

Yesterday, on August 14, 2002 Zimmerwald started to submit normal point files
containing dual-wavelength data independently collected by the two receivers:

Wavelength 423 nm: Hamamatsu H 6533
Wavelength 846 nm: Hamamatsu H 7422P-50

The infrared receiver shows a single shot rms about twice the blue one (0.2 vs
0.1 ns)

The two ranges are measured with two separate SR 620 counters. Although the two
counters have been calibrated against the Herstmonceux reference it might be
possible that the ranges still contain a differential range bias of a few
millimeters between blue and infrared based on currently unknown system biases
(in addition to the differential refraction, of course).

May I ask the analysts to pay special attention to these two-wavelength data.
Any feedback is very much appreciated.

We will continue to observe and submit a subset of dual-wavelength passes on
experimental basis although routine operation will remain single-color until
further notice.

Best regards
