• Spontaneous emission — is the process by which a light source such as an atom, molecule, nanocrystal or nucleus in an excited state undergoes a transition to the ground state and emits a photon. Spontaneous emission of light or luminescence is a fundamental process… …   Wikipedia

• Spontaneous magnetization — is the term used to describe the appearance of an ordered spin state (magnetization) at zero applied magnetic field in a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material below a critical point called the Curie temperature or TC. At temperatures above TC,… …   Wikipedia

• Amplified spontaneous emission — (ASE) or superluminescence is light, produced by spontaneous emission, that has been optically amplified by the process of stimulated emission in a gain medium.Origins and problemsASE is produced when a laser gain medium is pumped to produce a… …   Wikipedia

• Excited state — Excitation is an elevation in energy level above an arbitrary baseline energy state. In physics there is a specific technical definition for energy level which is often associated with an atom being excited to an excited state.In quantum… …   Wikipedia
