| 1. | The separated population represents a population inversion which can exhibit stimulated emissions.
|
| 2. | Initially the laser medium is optical amplification by stimulated emission to begin.
|
| 3. | Maser is an acronym for microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.
|
| 4. | Thus absorption and stimulated emission are reverse processes proceeding at somewhat different rates.
|
| 5. | However, some photons cause stimulated emission in excited-state atoms, releasing another coherent photon.
|
| 6. | Stimulated emission can also occur in classical models, without reference to photons or quantum-mechanics.
|
| 7. | This photon induces the ion to emit with the same frequency by stimulated emission.
|
| 8. | In 1986, the super-resolution optical microscope based on stimulated emission was patented by Okhonin.
|
| 9. | These last two decay mechanisms compete with stimulated emission reducing the efficiency of light amplification.
|
| 10. | The process that causes the amplification is stimulated emission.
