John, How where these measurements done? Also, it looks like you have a systematic component in there, about 80 fs guestimating from the plot creating essentially two tracks up the slope that is the tell-tale of a sinuoid phase modulation of some source.
Considering the temperature stability that you nicely plotted as a quadratic shape, it seems like a good thermal stability is needed, which comes as no big chock. Can do you do a longer measurement and accumulate the data in a 2D-histogram fashion? That is count occurrences for the amplitude/time position and then color code it accordingly? That have proved to be a good tool for analysis.
