Photosynthetically active radiation is any radiation that can be used for photosynthesis. This is generally wavelengths in the visible range (400-700nm). Radiation outside this range is given zero weight. This is slightly different than photometry, which has...

The photosynthetic photon flux density is the amount of photosynthetically active photons (400-700nm) hitting a surface per unit area per unit time. The units are µmol (of photons) m-2 s-1.
