Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a system where there are 150 atoms in the ground state, how many need to be in the excited state for population inversion?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how N2 must be greater than N1.

Question 2

A laser operates with a pumped medium resulting in a 4x increase in photon production due to stimulated emission. If initially there were 500 photons, how many are there after stimulation?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how stimulated emission leads to a multiplying effect on the number of photons.
