Stimulated Emission Cross Section
The stimulated emission cross section (in square meters) is
where
- A21 is the Einstein A coefficient (in radians per second),
- λ is the wavelength (in meters),
- n is the refractive index of the medium (dimensionless), and
- g(ν) is the spectral line shape function (in seconds).

Famous quotes containing the words emission, cross and/or section:
“Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let’s not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“Expecting me to grovel,
she carefully covers both feet
with the hem of her skirt.
She pretends to hide
a coming smile
and won’t look straight at me.
When I talk to her,
she chats with her friend
in cross tones.
Even this slim girl’s rising anger
delights me,
let alone her deep love.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.”
—Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)
