Spontaneous Emissions When a photon of energy hn12 impinges on the system, an electron in state E1 can absorb the photon energy and be excited to state E2, as shown in Fig. 4-17a. The electron will shortly return to the ground state, thereby emitting a photon of energy hn12 = E2 – E1. The spontaneous emissions are isotropic and of random phase, and thus appear as a narrowband gaussian output. 4.3 LASER DIODES Stimulated Emissions As shown in Fig. 4-17c, if a photon of energy hn12 impinges on the system while the electron is still in its excited state, the electron is immediately sti
