.~ Particular pumping type (e.g., electrical, optical, nuclear, magnetic, etc.)
DEFINITION
Classification: 359/345
Particular pumping type (e.g., electrical, optical, nuclear, magnetic, etc.):
(under subclass 333) Subject matter wherein a specified type of pumping is used to change the number of atoms or atomic system in a set of energy levels as a result of the absorption of light incident on the material.
(1) Note. This pumping causes the atoms of a medium to be raised from certain lower to certain higher energy levels, and it may cause a population inversion between certain intermediate levels in order to ultimately produce photons when the energy level moves from higher to lower.
