Abstract

Devices and methods are taught by this invention of populating excited energy levels with fundamental particles. When these populated excited energy levels are further pumped, a population inversion used in quantum electronic applications can result. Each of the various methods involve pumping on an excited energy level of an elemental physical system to cause, by the absorption of energy, the transition of fundamental particles from the excited energy level to a higher energy level. Part of the energy is used for transition of fundamental particles residing in neighboring elemental physical systems from the lowest energy to the excited energy level.
