We study the effect of spontaneous emission-induced coherence on population inversion in a ladder-type three-level system. We show that this kind of coherence can lead to unexpected population inversions on both of the optical transitions.

Effects of spontaneous emission interference on population inversions of a V-type atom

Shangqing Gong, Emmanuel Paspalakis, P. L. Knight

The steady-state population behaviour in a laser driven V-type system has been analysed. The effects of spontaneous emission-induced coherence and of the relative phase of the two coherent driving fields are considered in detail. A large and unexpected population inversion is found on one of the optical transitions due to these coherent effects.
