Relative Spectral Responsivity
The datasheet provides a Relative Responsivity vs. Wavelength characteristic curve at Ta = 25°C. The plotted response increases through the visible and near-infrared region, reaches its highest relative responsivity in the near-infrared portion of the chart, and then decreases toward the long-wavelength end of the plotted range.
The curve should be used as a typical characteristic reference rather than interpreted as a guaranteed minimum or maximum spectral response specification.
