Glossary
- photon counter A device used to evaluate the luminance of a surface by determining the number of photons emitted from a sample surface area.
- detector 1. A device designed to convert the energy of incident radiation into another form for the determination of the presence of the radiation. The device may function by electrical, photographic or visual means. 2. A device that provides an electric...
- picosecond pulse A pulse having extremely short duration, about 10-13 to 10-10 s, that is produced by mode locking of wide-bandwidth lasers, such as the organic dye and ruby lasers. Picosecond pulses are used in the study of extremely rapid decay processes.
