Today, I wrote up my noise calculations in a nicer way so that I have it on hand in the future. They are attached here. I found a mistake from the last elog entry, so it turns out that we are looking at a linewidth of about 440 kHz (or a PSD noise of 191 Hz/rtHz). This still meets the requirements of the experiment, and can be adjusted as necessary, since I can still increase the length of the cavity to decrease the noise. 

 There was another mistake in my calculations (sorry!) so we are actually looking at a possible linewidth of about 5.3 kHz (or noise level of 0.03 Hz/rtHz). This is very low, so we are looking at using a current driver from Thorlabs since we have room in our noise budget, and this would make the assembly much easier since the parts fit together. Waiting for a response from Thorlabs about their noise levels for current drivers.

Attached are the corrected calculations.
