ber inside the cavity and the square of the matrix elements. Therefore, the rate of transition of
atom from 0  1 is P0 nW0 1.
2. Stimulated emission transition: It depends on the number of atom in state 1 , photon number
inside the cavity and the square of the matrix elements. Therefore, the rate of transition of atom
from 1  0 is P1nW1  0 .
3. Spontaneous emission transition: It does not depend on the number of photon inside the cavity.
It depends on the number of atom in state 1 and the square of the matrix elements. Therefore,
the rate of transition of atom from 1  0 is PW

At equilibrium the rate of transition of atom to the 0  1 is equal to 1  0 .
