In the broadest sense, a photometer is any instrument used to measure luminance or radiance. As applied in industrial photometry, a "photometer" is the general term covering instruments for detecting:
scattered light intensity
absorption
fluorescence

Whenever I have a thing that I want to have defined, I always start with typing define:[the thing] into google. Try:
define:photometer
in google (sorry yahoo!)
