Differentiate between Stimulated emission and spontaneous emission.

Why two-
level laser is not possible?
Spontaneous emission is electron drops from an excited state to a lower state. Example - emitting a
photon.

Stimulated emission is a photon of the same frequency that interacts with an electron in an excited state
which drops to a lower state. The emitted photon is coherent with the incoming photon.
Example - Laser 

 Where quantum system undergoes a change and jumps to a lower energy state, emitting quanta
of energy is called the spontaneous emission Whereas stimulated emission is the process where an
external photon of a certain frequency, reacts with the excited electron in an atom and this results in
dropping to lower energy state.
 Spontaneous emission found in LEDs, Fluorescent tubes and stimulated emission found in laser
it is the key process for the formation of a laser beam. 
 There is no population inversion of electrons in LEDs in spontaneous emission whereas
population inversion is achieved by various pumping techniques in stimulated emission. 
 In spontaneous emission, external stimuli are not required and stimulated emission is caused by
external stimuli. 
 Spontaneous emission depends only on the upper level of the electron whereas stimulated
emission depends upon the electron being in the upper level but the electron must be started at the upper
level. 
 Only one energy wave is released during spontaneous emission while two energy waves are
released during stimulated emission. 
 Spontaneous emission is the self-emission process of radioactive materials without any influence
of radiation whereas a single particle or group of particles initiated emission in radioactive material  is
called stimulated emission.

We don't have two level lasers because population inversion is required for laser action.
Because a population inversion cannot be achieved in a two-level scheme of operation, lasing
activity cannot be made to occur with only two energy levels.
