Abstract
When the 3s3p 1P level of an Mg atom is resonantly excited by a laser, an anomalous emission with a wavelength of 5184 Å can be observed, which corresponds to the transition for 3s4s 3S to 3s3p 3P 2. According to the temporal behavior of this emission and its intensity dependence on atom density, it is believed that the experiment seems to show the transition from a spontaneous process to a cooperative process. The population inversion between 3s4s 3S and 3s3p 3P 2 is created by inelastic collisions of the lower excited 3s3p 1P atoms.
