Classical stimulated emission

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Stimulated emission is formulated in completely classical terms and is shown to occur in general only in nonlinear systems. Our approach is based on the frequency-dependent susceptibility, which in both the classical and quantum-mechanical descriptions is the main characteristic determining whether there is absorption or stimulated emission. By using Bom’s correspondence rule, we derive an expression for the lowest-order quantum correction to the classical susceptibility.
