Spontaneous emission
Spontaneous emission is the process by which a quantum system such as an atom, molecule, nanocrystal or nucleus in an excited state undergoes a transition to a state with a lower energy (e.g., the ground state) and emits quanta of energy. Light or luminescence from an atom is a fundamental process that plays an essential role in many phenomena in nature and forms the basis of many applications, such as fluorescent tubes, older television screens (cathode ray tubes), plasma display panels, lasers, and light emitting diodes. Lasers start by spontaneous emission, and then normal continuous operation works by stimulated emission.〔

==Introduction==
If a light source ('the atom') is in the excited state with energy E_2, it may spontaneously decay to a lower lying level (e.g., the ground state) with energy E_1, releasing the difference in energy between the two states as a photon. The photon will have angular frequency \omega and energy \hbar \omega (= h\nu, where h is the Planck constant and \nu is the frequency):
:E_2 - E_1 = \hbar \omega,
where \hbar is the reduced Planck constant. The phase of the photon in spontaneous emission is random as is the direction in which the photon propagates. This is not true for stimulated emission. An energy level diagram illustrating the process of spontaneous emission is shown below:
If the number of light sources in the excited state at time t is given by N(t), the rate at which N decays is:
:\frac = -A_ N(t),
where A_ is the rate of spontaneous emission. In the rate-equation A_ is a proportionality constant for this particular transition in this particular light source. The constant is referred to as the ''Einstein A coefficient'', and has units s^.〔R. Loudon, The Quantum Theory of Light, 3rd ed. (Oxford University Press Inc.,
New York, 2001).〕
The above equation can be solved to give:
:N(t) =N(0) e^= N(0) e^,
where N(0) is the initial number of light sources in the excited state, t is the time and \Gamma_ is the radiative decay rate of the transition. The number of excited states N thus decays exponentially with time, similar to radioactive decay. After one lifetime, the number of excited states decays to 36.8% of its original value (\frac-time). The radiative decay rate \Gamma_ is inversely proportional to the lifetime \tau_:
:A_=\Gamma_=\frac{\tau_{21}}.
