Figure 4: Data from centrifuge experiment.

Time elapsed versus g-force and visibility in the DA (triangles) and HV (circles) polarization measurement basis. The average of the visibilities is represented as horizontal dashed line (94.8 and 98.3%). Each of the points was calculated from ≈14,000 coincident counts. The error bars shown in the graphs are calculated considering Poissonian statistics, as well as systematical errors for DA measurements due to temperature fluctuations. The drop in visibility at 15 g is due to the effective cooling of the crystal during higher angular spinning speeds. The lower g-values (light blue) represent the measured data of the g-sensor at level 3 (detection) of the crate. In addition the calculated acceleration at level 1 (source) is plotted (blue).
