Mirrorless lasing: a theoretical perspective

Quantum Physics 2023-08-17 v1

Abstract

Mirrorless lasing has been a topic of particular interest for about a decade due to promising new horizons for quantum science and applications. In this work, we review first-principles theory that describes this phenomenon, and discuss degenerate mirrorless lasing in a vapor of Rb atoms, the mechanisms of amplification of light generated in the medium with population inversion between magnetic sublevels within the D2D_2 line, and challenges associated with experimental realization.
