Transmittance measurements

Longitudinal transmittance measured at Lambda 750 (no integrating sphere).
Longitudinal transmittance measured at Lambda 950 (integrating sphere).

Transmittance Uncertainty

Iris Diameter vs Transmittance	Ideal crystal placement would be 20cm side parallel to light beam. Reasonable placement errors would be 1.3° and 2.3° off of this. At these angles the beam still appeared to fall within the crystla face under the "Align" function
Internal Symmetry of Crystal. "Flipping" the crystal by reversing which end-face the light beam hits first.
