Question

What would be the explanation for the zeroes in both the second row and second column of W? I can't seem to think of an explanation for why this occurs. Thank you. add stimulated absorption and emission. Next, we add an "pump" that can energy to the system to stimulate atoms from the base energy level E1 to level E and increase emission from level E to E1. The rate at which atoms move between these states is a constant rate WP, so that the linear system accounting for the pumping action is (4) (W G)n We W where W 0 0 The sum of the two matrices is Wa 0 P 721 131 W W G 132 n21. WP 0 132 131 Wp Exercise 1: Why does the second row and column of W have all zeros?

Explanation / Answer

I think while moving from level E1 to E3 the movement is parallel to xz plane so there is no change in the 2nd coordinate. So the rate of change along 2nd coordinate is 0. I hope this explanation is ok to you.
