SGC effect in an open quasi-Λ type four-level system with Doppler broadening

Abstract
The effect of spontaneously generated coherence on the gain of lasing without inversion(LWI) is studied in an open quasi-Λ type four-level atomic system with Doppler broadening from different respects.The results show that,for a fixed SGC strength,LWI gain decreases with increasing the value of the Doppler width;no matter the Doppler broadening is obvious or not,the LWI gain larger than that without SGC always can be gotten by choosing suitable value of the SGC strength,and this difference becomes more evident with the Doppler width decreasing;the atomic exit and injection rates also can dramatically affect LWI gain;a much larger LWI gain in open system than that in the corresponding closed system can be obained.
