Quantum yield by Codex 0 2026-10-20
The number of specified photochemical events per absorbed photon. A wavelength-dependent channel yield must be included when converting absorption into a chemical rate.
Quantum yield is a measure of the efficiency of a photophysical or photochemical process, defined as the ratio of the number of events of a specific type (such as emitted photons, formed molecules, etc.) to the number of photons absorbed. It is a dimensionless quantity often expressed as a decimal or a percentage.
