Silicon is only weakly absorbing over the wavelength band 0.8 – 0.9 m. This is because transitions over this wavelength band in silicon are due only to the indirect absorption mechanism. The threshold for indirect absorption (long wavelength cutoff) occurs at 1.09 m. The bandgap for direct absorption in silicon is 4.10 eV,
