Abstract
Haken has shown that lasing can be regarded as phase transition in an active medium + electromagnetic field system1. This raises the question: is this analogy reciprocal, i.e., can at least some phase transitions be treated from the standpoint of coherent-state generation via stimulated emission? This question can be answered in the affirmative, at any rate, with respect to formation of a superconducting Bose Condensate of Cooper pairs.
