The longest wavelength capable of producing an above-gap electron-hole pair isEvery transmitted wavelength is longer than , so every transmitted photon has energy below . Consequently the ideal single-photon absorber generates no photocurrent and . The stated irradiance does not change this spectral-threshold conclusion. Defect-mediated or multiphoton absorption is outside the assumed ideal band-to-band model.
