quantum limit

The shortest possible wavelength that can be transmitted or sensed in an optical system. For example, lasers and optical receivers, as well as the human eye, have a quantum limit.

quantum limit [′kwän·təm ′lim·ət]

(spectroscopy)

The shortest wavelength present in a continuous x-ray spectrum. Also known as boundary wavelength; end radiation.
