Used to be called the sub-millimeter wave band. Extends down to about 300 GHz.<br /><br />Send me an e-mail and I can send you some charts. dave@alt-vision.comDave Gilblomhttp://www.alt-vision.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-47983216676608313442013-10-11T22:14:33.310+03:002013-10-11T22:14:33.310+03:00It's intrinsic silicon after all.
