← ScienceWhich consequence results when thin-film interference reduces photodetector quantum efficiency?
A)Increased signal-to-noise
B)Reduced detected intensity✓
C)Faster carrier recombination
D)Enhanced spectral bandwidth
💡 Explanation
Reduced external quantum efficiency lowers detectable light. Destractive thin-film interference minimizes light reaching a sensor because incident and reflecting waves cancel each other at certain wavelengths via destructive interference therefore the detected intensity becomes very weak, rather than amplifying signal or recombination effect.
