high-energy photon
Suppression of the potential well prevents the free electrons from recombination and, thus, no high-energy photon can be emitted.
From theCambridge English Corpus
incident photon
A simple pumping criterion is considered, and the incident photon flux required has been related to the photoionization coefficient and the stimulated emission cross section.
From theCambridge English Corpus
incoming photon
An incoming photon will create a number of such ion pairs proportional to its energy.

individual photon
Figure 1 schematically shows the trajectory of an individual photon in the two coordinate systems.
From theCambridge English Corpus
photon density
To display sub-round trip time dynamics, a spatial resolution of the photon density current along the axis of the resonator is introduced.
From theCambridge English Corpus
photon sphere
The concept of a photon sphere in a static spherically metric was generalized to a photon surface of any metric.

photon torpedo
Photon torpedo launchers aboard ships are shown to be versatile enough to fire probes, which in-universe are designed with this functionality in mind.

scattered photon
From the analysis above, we can calculate a combined distribution of scattered photon number with regard to the energies and emission angles.
From theCambridge English Corpus
single photon
The size of the single photon response and the magnitude of membrane voltage fluctuations were assessed in dark- and light-adapted retina.
From theCambridge English Corpus
ultraviolet photon
Ozone is formed in the stratosphere when oxygen molecules photodissociate after intaking an ultraviolet photon whose wavelength is shorter than 240 nm.

virtual photon
The virtual photon emitted by the electron is also polarized and so seeks out quarks of spin in the same direction as the photon.
