We trapped a bead and took a power spectrum. Module isn't quite working yet. Fit does not succeed. Power spectrum is way noisy in the low freqs. Fit fails. By eye:
- 375 mW, corner frequency is between 1 and 2 K
- 185 mW, corner frequency is definitely less than 2K, probably less than 1K.
corner frequency of 1500 K is 0.045 pN / nm. This is too low, but I'm not confident of numbers yet.
