Abstract
As is well known, the cross section for induced emission is rapidly decreased with growing the transition frequency because of both the decrease of the wavelength and the increase of the Doppler linewidth, which is proportional to transition frequency. As a result, observing of induced gamma emission is unlikely unless a deep cooling of a gas (or beam) of excited nuclei down to microKelvin temperatures is fulfilled1,2 or the Mossbauer recoilless radiative transitions of nuclei in solids are used3,4 to avoid thermal broadening of the emission line. Both ways, unfortunately, bring numerous well-known complications that have been insurmountable until now.1–4
