flux density, flux displacement
1. The amount of a given type of radiation that crosses a specified area within a specified period; such as, the number of photons passing through one square centimeter of a target in one second.
2. The electric flux passing through a surface, divided by the area of the surface.
3. A vector field that represents the differential flux of field lines per unit area.

electric displacement, dielectric displacement, dielectric flux density, electric displacement density, electric flux density, electric induction
The electric field intensity multiplied by the permittivity (measure of the ability of a nonconducting material to retain electric energy when placed in an electric field) or the property of a dielectric medium which determines the forces that electric charges placed in the medium exert on each other.

irradiance, radiant flux density
1. A radiometric term for the rate at which radiant energy is transferred across a unit area of a surface, commonly measured in watts per square meter.
2. A radiometric term for the rate at which radiant energy in a radiation field is transferred across a unit area of a surface (real or imaginary) in a hemisphere of directions.

In general, irradiance depends on the orientation of a surface. The radiant energy may be confined to a narrow range of frequencies (spectral or monochromatic irradiance which is characterized by a single frequency) or integrated over a broad range of frequencies.
