Transmittance Uncertainty

Iris diameter vs Transmittance. 07/2016

Internal Symmetry of Crystal. "Flipping" the crystal by reversing which end-face the light beam hits first. 07/2016

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. 07/2016

Transmittance test 12/02/2016.
