BS cal uncertainty
As mentioned in elog 3345, our BS is mounted on a magnetic mount. Therefore to calibrate both faces, I had rotated the mount. Hence, to check the stability of mount and the uncertainty in our calibration due to this rotation, I calibrated both front and back face 3 additional times. The camera was moved everytime I was measuring reflection or transmission. Hence, there can be few discrepancies from camera position. (the camera was only unscrewed and relocated without changing its mount)
 
As a result, the parameters mentioned in the table show that the magnetic mount is quite stable and doesn't affect(a lot) calibration of either the front or back face.  In all the following cases, the beam was always along same path. Additionally, the average order in labview was 10 during data acquisition.

P.S

1. Front face = where laser is incident on BS in an ideal configuration, and back face means the face opposite to front face.
