Transmission Efficiency (5.3.1., page 11)

At this moment we have not been able to measure the transmission of the FPs in orbit due to lack of narrow-line sources. At the time of writing this manual we have no evidence that the transmission is different from the pre-launch values. A measurement of the transmission efficiency of the FPL at 145 m on a narrow line shows that it is close to 5%, i.e. very close to ground based values.
