Stimulated Emission

137 - Stimulate Emission
In this video Paul Andersen explains how stimulated emission can be used to create coherent light. When an atom absorbs a photon it moves to a higher energy level through stimulated absorption. It may then release a photon and moves to a lower energy level through spontaneous emission. However a stimulated atom at a high energy level may release to identical photons that travel coherently. An example of stimulated emission can be found in a laser.

    In spontanious emission the energy of the emitted photon does not match to the energy level inside the atom. Theory (Wigner Weisskopf) shows that with spontanious emission the probability to get a photon with an certain frequency or polarisation is a lorentzian lineshape shifted slightly from the frequency splitting of the energy levels inside the Atom.

    exactly. I think he got the descriptions of spontaneous and stimulated emission somewhat mixed. You didn't mention the direction of the photon. If i remember correctly, the direction of a spontaneously emitted photon has no preference in the direction of the photon that stimulated it previously. In fact, for the spontaneous emission, it doesn't matter how the electron was excited.

    kenny, you are correct. it is the electron that is absorbing the photons energy, however the average energy of the atom itself goes up as well as a result. both can be considered correct. it is also the electron that is giving off the photons, but again, the electron is considered part of the atom so either way you say it is right.

  • @FlyingJetpack1

    7 жыл бұрын

    The jump between level 2 and level 3 are different compared to the level 1 to 2, usually the next level requires less energy to reach that state, that means the photon that hit this electron is essentially "overshooting" the needed energy level, therefore it can only go through. But by passing by that excited electron, it stimulates it to be emitted as well.

  • @saranshbansal2746

    the electron actually wont move to level E3 because the enrgy of the incident electron is E2-E1 and not E3-E2....for further excitation we need an electron of energy E3-E2 that's why the electron has no option but to relax to ground state

    As atoms are already in excited state that is they r not in stable state(10^8micro sec)so they Deexcite and it isn't possible for them to go to higher energy level as they are already in unstable position.

    Electrons don't move to energy levels, they move to a more outer electron band. (And that only in the outdated model of the atom) The electron moves to a higher electron band (where they have higher potential energy). as a result of that : The atom is said to be at a higher energy level. What he shows is not the model of the individual electron bands of the atom, but the energy levels of the atom. It is just a representation at another abstraction level.

    If the photon allows the atom to make a transition from E1 to E2, it will not make another transition from E2 to E3 since the energy of these excited state are different, if the photon that hit the atom when it was at E2 right before falling back to E1, it will just allow stimulated emission but not making another transition to E3. However if the photon that hit the atom is exactly the energy needed to jump to E3, it will. But its not the case. hope it helps
