| Popis: | The condition for cw lasing in a four-level system is generalized to include situations where the upper laser level relaxes to the ground state as well as to the lower laser level. It is found that cw lasing is possible in certain cases even when the fluorescence lifetime of the upper level is shorter than that of the lower laser level.(AIP) |
