The term is so broad as to encompass practically everything that has to do with quantum-based processing of electromagnetic radiation.
What I am hoping to find is a technical description of the specific procedure closest to what Tom seems to have used. I guess I'll just have to keep looking.
P.S. There is an IEEE sector on photonics as well:

I have not looked, but I think you'll find it very difficult to find any paper or book covering what Wilson was doing - he was 'mixing and matching' from that wide field for what he needed to do. If I wasn't about to loose my flat and sail off into homelessness, I'd spend more time trying to pin this all down...but right now, survival [if that remains an option] is all I have much time for until things get secure again...if they do. Sorry. See if there is a transcript or video of his two ASK lectures for the best available at this time. If I ever get stable again, I have about 200 technical books on photonics and know enough about what T.W. was trying to do to pull out chapters that apply. He was a giant in his field. Red-hot steel products were shooting past his light filter at up to 30-120/min. His 'job' was to see if there were any flaws on the surface - AND if a flaw what kind [size, shape, depth, and chemical nature of*] of the flaw. He adapted that to the JFK photos and evidence after a chance discussion with Wecht [who was a neighbor] on JFK.
* something a human could barely do if given ONE cold piece to study for several hours. His whole system was based on how light behaves. We humans have very limited range of the 'visual' bandwidth, and can not see subtle variations of color, shade, reflection angle, refraction and MANY other factors that his systems could.
