Photodetachment is a fundamental ionization mechanism in which electrons are detached from negative ions following photoabsorption. Cross sections for this process, and the inverse process of radiative attachment, are required in the modeling of low density plasmas such as those found, for example, in certain astrophysical environments. A survey of the field will be presented.
