Stimulated Emission

Stimulated Emission is a quantum optical process in which an incoming photon of a specific energy induces an excited electron in a semiconductor system to transition to a lower energy state, thereby emitting a second photon that is coherent in phase, frequency, polarization, and direction with the incident photon, distinguishing it from spontaneous emission and forming the foundational mechanism for laser amplification in semiconductor gain media.
