Emission and Absorption
emission is the process by which a higher
energy quantum mechanical state of a particle
becomes converted to a lower one through a
photon, resulting in the production of light. The
frequency of light emitted is a function of the
energy of the transition.
Light emission can occur through two
fundamental processes known as spontaneous
emission and stimulated emission.
Stimulated & Spontaneous Emission
In the case of spontaneous emission, photons are
emitted in random directions with no phase
relationship among them. Stimulated emission, by
contrast, is initiated by an existing photon.
