Week in review: Frustratingly slow week; didn't seem to make much headway/i don't know anything.
Re: Cowan Code: After trying about a bunch of different routes to get it working, i think i've more or less decided on the original prescription, the Alex Kramida pre-compiled version for PC. Despite the big incentive to pursue the un-compiled versions so as to be able to use the scripts, i haven't been able to get it to work easily. Here's what doesn't work, there's basically 2 routes that i worked on for a while(too long):
*Compiling the code in Ubuntu didn't work as I couldn't get the right compiler. Both compilers mentioned in the documentation are a bit of an issue. Unfortunately the Intel Fortran compiler doesn't work with the new version of Ubuntu. It is possible that it would work with an older version of Ubuntu or a different Linux distribution. g77 is not readily available/very old so also a problem. The gfortran compiler also doesn't work with the code, at least according to the documentation.
*Compiling the program in windows via cygwin also didn't seem to work either. The Fortran compiler (ifort) although available for free for windows is not available for windows. Besides, you can't run the make files in cygwin and have it utilize the windows ifort anyway. However, you can have it use the gfortran, the open source fortran compiler. Although it seemed to compile, the code didn't work. According to the documentation, apparently that compiler won't work.
Re: Laser linewidth issue:
We finally made a little progress on this problem. So it appears there is a problem with the fast feedback. As much as i would like the electronics to not be responsible for problems, it appears that they are. I should have figured.
