Seems to be a minor typo . Paper:
>17.5% of the measured value for Terbium-Gallium-Garnet (TGG) at 800 nm, and up to 75% at 1.3 µm.
Here's what the crystal looks like

Here's transmission plot (UV-IR)

Note there's almost no effect on transmission
Yes, the paper and magphys talks about rotation, not transmission.
