Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A laser system has a population of 1000 excited atoms and 500 ground state atoms. Calculate the ratio of excited to ground state atoms required for effective amplification.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the definition of population inversion.

Question 2

Design a thought experiment to show how adding more energy to a laser system can maintain population inversion in a fluctuating environment.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Relate it to how external pumping can sustain the desired state.
