This is the
“first glimmer” plot for the DSOS, done in June 2002. This is a plot of a 12CO line of
TRIFID3 using the 692 GHz heterodyne receiver. This was done with 7
calibrated channels activated, entered in by hand. The black line is DSOS off, and the red line shows the
improvement in signal power with DSOS on. The improvement was 14 %. You can also see that some side structures to the left of
the main peak became more apparent. |

Because of this
plot, interest in the DSOS’s performance at higher frequencies increased, and
a test with SHARC2 was scheduled for the following month. |
