Meanings
-
fluorescence as a result of spontaneous correlation of excited atomic states
In this approach, a source of parametric superfluorescence (an OPG with optical gain of 10 10 to 10 12 ) provides the seed pulse (energy 10 to 100 nJ) for subsequent parametric amplification (with an OPG with optical gain of 10 3 to 10 5 ).
