Universal Quasi-Level Parameter for the Characterization of Laser Operation

A parameter is proposed which classifies the laser operating characteristics according to the quasi-level terminology, i.e., as intermediate behavior between that of an ideal two- and three-level or three- and four-level laser scheme. Since the quasi-level parameter is purely based on a generic rate...
