Not sure what the y-scale is since there aren't any y axis labels in the plot, but it seems like we
now get an SNR of a ~few with a BW of 0.1 Hz. IN principle, the frequency noise out of the PSL ought
to be limited by the VCO phase noise at these frequencies (sort of) so the broadband MC_F level
is very roughly equal to 20-100 mHz/rHz.

Since dnu = dL*(c/lambda)/L_MC, the thermal peaks have a height of ~10^-15 m_RMS. We (Caryn) should check
that these numbers are true and then see if this is the correct amount of energy for thermally excited
mirror modes.
