'''8/6/14'''
<strike>I'm getting about 50% transmission from the prism (measuring total power of both beams before prism and just after before they've significantly diverged). I don't know why this is so different from the cited figure, but it's consistent and I'll use it. Using the bandpass filter before the prism I get 11 mW of 1555. So 16.9 mW after filter losses. I'm getting 12 mW of 1555 after the prism though, which would mean 24 mW leaving the cavity. I'm not sure why there's this discrepancy. Maybe the bandpass filter is very angularly dependent </strike>
 
I measured the transmission of the prism directly using the 1064 and 1555 diodes. I found 100% for 1064 and 89% for 1555.
