I basically did not much more than what you see in the paper on the arXiv. What looks pretty clear is that a local adjustment can be made to the timings that eliminates the timing features at the nanosecond scale that I at first identified in the longdist35 dataset. I didn't look quantitatively at what might be discovered by looking at multiple datasets (which can become a lot of work, so one wants a relatively strong feeling that it might be worthwhile).
I'm not sure whether the Weihs data contains enough information to characterize what parts of the various timing delays are caused by the electro-optical modulator.
You may have missed the concern that was perhaps first raised by De Raedt: a certain amount of unaccounted birefringence could explain the results instead of "non-locality". Regretfully nobody seems to know if this may have been caused by the EOM or not.
BTW: let's get Gregor Weihs' name right. It's not Weih, nor Weih's. Of course I should feel especially sensitive about this, because there's one place in my arXiv paper where I use Wiehs.
Yeah I know, regretfully my spelling error is in the title and I can't change it. :rolleyes:
