The phrase "absorption cross section" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in scientific contexts, particularly in physics and chemistry, to describe the measure of the probability of a photon being absorbed by a particle.
Example: "The absorption cross section of the material determines how much light is absorbed at a given wavelength."
Alternatives: "absorption coefficient" or "absorption area".
