80. * limit [P. Bratt, W. Engeler, H. Levinstein, A. MacRae, and J. Pehek, Infrared Phys. 1961 1 27] as being in error because of neglect of the boson factor. It is true that the boson factor was neglected in this calculation, however, for 300°K background and δ < 10μm, this has negligible effect. Van Vliet was actually comparing his calculation for an ideal detector that does not show recombination noise with a calculation for a photoconductor that does. Therefore, a difference between the two curves is to be expected.
