It’s the peak/maximum of infrared too though? It equals 1mm, and is where infrared and radio meet?
Edit: Microwaves before Radio.

It's around the high end of the red-shifted Cosmic Microwave Background, your usual sensors for such are MEMS radiometer arrays or graphene bolometers cooled to near absolute zero.

What would you propose as an alternative maximum to infrared then? 300,000nm? 20,000nm?

I also got a potential max of 30 μm. I’d just prefer something agreed upon.
