Anomalous luminescence of dispersed media during stimulated emission into whispering-gallery modes

Abstract

The luminescence of dispersed media during light generation in spherical microresonators has been investigated theoretically. The effect that is predicted for the first time to our knowledge is a drastic increase of the dispersed-medium luminescence intensity in the case of an inverted population of the metastable-molecule energy levels.
