Yes I'm not a physicist by any means, but from what I gather, for the Bayer sensor each photon passes thru one filter [but,] for Foveon, in order for the photon to reach the lowest layer it must travel thru 2 filters, each with some light loss plus the light loss for the silicon sensors themselves.

A popular view - but some red photons pass through silicon almost unimpeded - as in with virtually no loss.

And silicon is transparent to IR, no matter how many "layers" it passes through ...
