PHOTONICS   
THE TECHNOLOGY OF GENERATING AND HARNESSING LIGHT

Photometry is the branch of science that deals with the measurement of light.  It is usually viewed as a subset of the broader field of radiometry, which also includes the measurement of radiation outside the visible spectrum.   Much of our information about the world comes to us through light, and the detection of light is perhaps one of the most fundamental processes in nature.
