My plan has been to replicate Duan's numerical thermoconductive (TE + TR) phase noise plot presented in his paper (section V). I am trying to match Duan's analytical expression with Heinert's analytical expression. This requires some rescaling of Heinert's TR displacement noise. (I also needed to divide Heinert's expression by 4 pi to match the Fourier Transform convention. ) Duan's analytical expression for the phase noise is obtained by evaluating the triple integral given in equation 13 of the Duan paper "General Treatment of Thermal Noise in Optical Fibers".
It turns out that an additional factor of 2 multiplies the phase noise because Duan's Fourier Transform only takes into account positive frequencies; there are also negative frequencies that occur in equal amplitude.
This integral was evaluated in Mathematica due to numerical noise in MATLAB's calculation. The calculation in Mathematica was very slow, so the upper limits on the integral were truncated. The following plots in the attached document show the resulting noise profile agreements for two different upper limits.
If the residual for the highest upper limit is considered acceptable for a match between the two plots, then I will use Heinert's plot as a reference when using the COMSOL steady-state method for Duan's numerical case (Heinert's plot runs much faster).
