abstract
In this paper we study the influence of the atomic lifetime and Raman field strength on the gain and laser threshold in noninverted atomic systems. Our results show that to obtain a useful gain in such a system, it is necessary to use a sufficiently intense Raman field, atoms with a long lifetime for the lower active levels, and a small cavity loss. 1992.
