Description

To minimize and put into an experimentally reachable domain the coherent optical pump intensity needed for radiation amplification on a transition between strongly lifetime broadened levels, an inversionless lasing scheme is suggested. Such a scheme can be used, for example, to achieve lasing in quantum dots with lifetime broadened levels.
