complete absorption of coherent incident light by a lossy structure illuminated from several sides with matched phases, the time-reverse of lasing at threshold.

In photonics, coherent perfect absorption refers to complete absorption of coherent incident light by a lossy structure illuminated from several sides with matched phases, the time-reverse of lasing at threshold. This meaning comes from Chong (2010) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
