    Abstract

    The effect of stimulated emission on observed fluorescence dynamics was demonstrated. Experimental results show that the decay of strong transitions in four level systems is significantly changed by stimulated emission even under conditions where the upper excited level population density is not noticeably altered. A new method for measuring the stimulated emission cross-section of a transition results and is presented. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
