Gain With Population Inversion
|
|
|
|
|

Trace A, taken with the probe and repump tuned to the F=1 excited state of the D1 line (note difference from original configuration), shows gain with population inversion. Trace B, taken with the probe tuned to the F=1 excited state and the repump tuned to the F=2 excited state, shows loss without population inversion since there are no atoms in the probe excited state for this tuning.
