[7] . That is contradiction to the above peak intensity observation. There may have a possibility to solve a hidden reason of the appreciable lower D value. Anyway further studies may be helpful to understand the performance of the IR beam. Similar experiments are also especially valuable to analyze when the Si-Bi filter is cooled by liquid nitrogen. The study will be made in near future.
