quantum efficiency
(QE)
(measure of instrument's ability to sense EMR)
The term quantum efficiency (QE) is used for a measure of
an instrument's ability to sense EMR,
consisting of the fraction or percent of photons sensed/counted.
For a particular instrument, it is a function of wavelength
(a type of sensitivity function).
The measure is commonly cited for CCDs, and
is applicable to other EMR-sensing instruments
such as photomultiplier tubes, and processes such as photography.
It may be stated as that applying to some particular wavelength-range.
The term quantum efficiency also has other uses, some of which
are analogous, such as for power-generating solar cells.
