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 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.
Thanks, Peter. Sorry to hear of your difficulties -- hang tight and all the best. -Al
