Which consequence results when thin-film interference reduces photodetector quantum efficiency?

💡 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.
