These results indicate that the polymers studied have large cross sections for stimulated emission, that population inversion can be achieved at low pump energies, and that the emitted photons travel distances greater than the gain length within the gain medium.

Platzman's and Mills» gamma - ray laser proposal involves generating coherent emission of these 511 keV photons by persuading a large number of Ps atoms to commit suicide at the same time, thus generating an intense gamma - ray pulse.

Dr Marek Potemski and co-workers working at CNRS (France) in collaboration with researchers at the University of Warsaw (Poland) discovered stable quantum emitters at the edges of WSe2 monolayers, displaying highly localised photoluminescence with single - photon emission characteristics.

When near - infrared light is projected at these modified carriers they break down via two - photon emission.

«We have demonstrated the emission of polarization - entangled photons from a quantum dot at 1550 nanometers for the first time ever,» said Simone Luca Portalupi, one of the work's authors and a senior scientist at the Institute of Semiconductor Optics and Functional Interfaces at the University of Stuttgart.

«Ideally, a single photon emitter will provide both room - temperature operation and emission at telecom wavelengths, but this has remained an elusive goal.

(Cognoscenti will have noticed that I have skipped past a third process, stimulated emission, in which a photon arriving at a molecule that is already excited causes it to emit, instead of absorbing that photon.

The processes (absorption of light, collisional energy transfer and emission) can be separated because the average time that an isolated CO2 molecule takes before it emits a photon is much longer that the time for collisional de-excitation (~ tens of microseconds at atmospheric pressure, less, higher in the atmosphere).

The frequency at which photons are emitted or absorbed is small relative to the rate of energy redistribution among molecules and their modes, so the fraction of some molecules that are excited in some way is only slightly more or less than the characteristic fraction for that temperature (depending on whether photons absorption to generate that particular state is greater than photon emission from that state or vice versa, which depends on the brightness temperature of the incident radiation relative to the local temperature).

For other reasons, at LTE, the transmission (of a given type of photon) is the same in a pair of opposite directions, so in the absence of scattering, emissivity and absorptivity must each be the same for opposite directions across the same path of material, and thus they will be the same for absorption of photons from a direction and emission of photons into the opposite direction.

But in full thermodynamic equilibrium, with equilibrium among all photons and non-photons, the rate of emission into a direction and absorption from that direction at some location, of each type of photon, will be equal.

As long as LTE is maintained and assuming stimulated emission is insignificant, the non-photons would be emitting at the same rate regardless of photon absorbption.

Rod, absorption and emission always tend to fix the photon density to the Planck value at the excitation temperature of the relevant process.

In general, so long as there is some solar heating beneath some level, there must be a net LW + convective heat flux upward at that level to balance it in equilibrium; convection tends to require some nonzero temperature decline with height, and a net upward LW flux requires either that the temperature declines with height on the scale of photon paths (from emission to absorption), or else requires at least a partial «veiw» of space, which can be blocked by increasing optical thickness above that level.

, then the interaction gets complicated, but if we stick to purely complete emission and absorption of photons, with any scattering preserving photon energy, then, if the non-photons within each local system are at LTE, then they will emit into a direction as much as they absorb from a direction of the same type of photons if their temperature is the same as the brightness temperature of the incident photons.

A molecule that absorbs a photon at a specific wavelength absorbs a specific quanta of energy and releases the same amount on emission — the quantum effect.

I do not believe this second statement to be true or the atmosphere of the Earth would not be optically transparent and perhaps there would be a visible glow in the sky at night due to the reciprocal photon emission process.

Due to the long photon emission time (every photon is absorbed and re-emitted many times) the star photosphere is at a pseudo equilibrium allowing a black body approximation for mean photosphere temperature.

But if the green photon is not converted into heat then there will be no need for emission of 20 photons at nighttime.
