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)
“You might say that Lyndon Johnson is a cross between a Baptist preacher and a cowboy.”

“Every man has been brought up with the idea that decent women don’t pop in and out of bed; he has always been told by his mother that “nice girls don’t.” He finds, of course, when he gets older that this may be untrue—but only in a certain section of society.”
