Question

g Two radiation modes (one at the center frequency lIo and the other at lIO+?lI) are excited with 1000 photons each. Determine the probability density for stimulated emission (or absorption). If N 2 such atoms are excited to energy level 2, determine the time constant for the decay of N 2 due to stimulated and spontaneous emission. How many photons (rather than 1000) should be present so that the decay rate due to stimulated emission equals that due to spontaneous emission?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) P=0.25x10^-7

b) R=B*N2*E

c) N=1.33x10^9 photons

Explanation:

a) the spontaneous emission rate is equal to:

1/tsp=1/3 ms

the stimulated emission rate is equal to:

pst=(N*C*o(v))/V

where

o(v)=((λ^2*A)/(8*π*u^2))g(v)

g(v)=2/(π*deltav)

o(v)=(λ^2)/(4*π*tp*deltav)

Replacing values:

o(v)=0.7^2/(4*π*3*50)=8.3x10^-19 cm^2

the probability is equal to:

P=(1000*3x10^10*8.3x10^-19)/(100)=0.25x10^-7

b) the rate of decay is equal to:

R=B*N2*E, where B is the Einstein´s coefficient and E is the energy system

c) the number of photons is equal to:

N=(1/tsp)*(V/C*o)

Replacing:

N=100/(3*3x10^10*8.3x10^-19)

N=1.33x10^9 photons
