2.71/2.710 Optics (Laser lecture) 12/12/01-4 Energy excited state ground state Light generation A pump mechanism (e.g. thermal excitation or gas discharge) ejects some atoms to the excited state

2.71/2.710 Optics (Laser lecture) 12/12/01-5 Light generation The excited atoms radiatively decay, emitting one photon each ground state excited state Energy hν

2.71/2.710 Optics (Laser lecture) 12/12/01-6 equilibrium: most atoms in ground state; note the existence of a third, super-excited state ground state Light amplification: 3-level system excited state Energy super-excited state

2.71/2.710 Optics (Laser lecture) 12/12/01-7 Light amplification: 3-level system excited state ground state Utilizing the super-excited state as a short-lived pivot point, the pump creates a population inversion Energy super-excited state

2.71/2.710 Optics (Laser lecture) 12/12/01-9 hν super-excited state ground state excited state Energy Light amplification: 3-level system When a photon enters, it knocks an electron from the inverted population down to the ground state, thus creating a new photon. This amplification process is called stimulated emission
