Table 3: Spectral and time response calibrations: for all channels (named in Col. 1) we report in the second column the average frequency, and in the third column the optical bandwidth $\Delta \nu = \left( \int e(\nu) {\rm d}\nu \right)^2/\!\int e^2(\nu)
\rm d\nu$. Here $e(\nu )$ are the transmission spectra of Fig. 10. The conversion factor between Specific Brightness and CMB temperature fluctuations, as computed from the same spectra, is reported in the fourth column. Spectral normalizations and flat band optical efficiencies are measured using NDF-up load curve power differences. The spectral normalization $\eta $ (fifth column) is calculated using the spectral response from the FTS measurements. The optical efficiency $\langle \eta e(\nu) \rangle_{\rm band}$ (sixth column) is calculated assuming a flat spectral response. The detectors are assumed to be single-moded. The high optical efficiency of the 345 GHz channels is likely due to propagation of multiple modes to the detector. The time constant $\tau $ is reported in the seventh column, as measured in the laboratory with loading conditions similar to the flight ones.
