	Photonics PHOTONICS By the 21st century, photonics was on the cusp of unseating electronics as the optimal and revolutionary science underlying cutting-edge telecommunications and computing technology. The primary thrust of photonics research in the 1990s and early 2000s was toward the fiber-optic networking... Read more
	photon photon , the particle composing light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation , sometimes called light quantum. The photon has no charge and no mass. About the beginning of the 20th cent., the classical theory that light is emitted and absorbed by matter in a continuous stream came under... Read more
	fluence fluence A measure, widely used in studies of photosynthesis in plants, of the quantity of light. It is defined as the quantity of radiant energy falling on a small sphere divided by the cross-sectional area of the sphere, and can be expresssed in two ways. Photon fluence (units:... Read more
	Compton effect Compton effect [for A. H. Compton ], increase in the wavelengths of X rays and gamma rays when they collide with and are scattered from loosely bound electrons in matter. This effect provides strong verification of the quantum theory since the theoretical explanation of the effect requires that... Read more
