16. The cutoff photon energy of 1.65 eV is chosen because (a) a standard a-Si:H sample has an optical gap of about 1.7 eV and (b) photons below the optical gap are inefficient for dangling-bond generation [but, see, J. F. Tian, D. S. Jiang, B. R. Zheng, L. Huang and G. L. Kong, Solid State Commun. 57, 543 (1986)]. Also, the assumption of an energy-independent quantum efficiency is reasonable only for photon energies greater than the optical gap.
