The process is still called photosynthesis. What we know is that when light strikes chloroplast, photosystem I and II will:

1:split H2o, releasing H ions, electrons, and O gas

2: The electrons are passed along the electron passport system

3: ATP is produced

4: H from the H2o is involved in the reduction of NADP to NADPH

Then, the light INDEPENDENT reaction happen, ex. fixing carbon, using ATP and NADPH to create sugars. Most important the Calvin cycle

NOW/... The "water-spliting" event in photosystem II, where light photons are absorbed by P680, is often called PHOTOLYSIS

So, being careful with this slightly loose question,

PHOTOLYSIS
