Émission spontanée : l’atome descend spontanément [...] à un niveau inférieur [...] en émettant un grain de lumière, ou photon, qui emporte l’énergie excédentaire. 3, record 2, French, - %C3%A9mission%20spontan%C3%A9e

«fluorescence» : Ce stockage [d’énergie] [...] se termine par la réémission, dans une direction quelconque, d’un photon de même énergie que le premier. C’est ce que l’on appelle l’émission «spontanée» (ou fluorescence). 2, record 2, French, - %C3%A9mission%20spontan%C3%A9e

«fluorescence» : Orszag semble un des seuls auteurs à employer «fluorescence» comme synonyme d’émission spontanée. «Fluorescence» est moins courant dans ce sens et risquerait de créer une ambiguïté avec le sens le plus courant utilisé en physique. 5, record 2, French, - %C3%A9mission%20spontan%C3%A9e

cohérence. Aptitude d’un rayonnement [...] à engendrer, sous certaines conditions, des phénomènes d’interférences. 1, record 3, French, - rayonnement%20coh%C3%A9rent
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Le rayonnement non cohérent est celui qu'on obtient, par exemple, du filament d’une lampe à incandescence. Lorsque le filament est chaud, ses atomes sont fortement excités et ils émettent des photons que l'on perçoit comme de la lumière et de la chaleur. L'émission de photons obtenue par ce moyen est aléatoire et cela produit des rayonnements sur une large bande de fréquences qui ne sont pas synchronisées les unes avec les autres. Par contre, le laser émet un rayonnement dit cohérent parce que ce rayonnement naît d’une oscillation stimulée, c'est-à-dire provoquée par une impulsion de déclenchement. Il en résulte une fréquence unique(monochrome) à partir de laquelle on peut obtenir des composantes synchrones. 2, record 3, French, - rayonnement%20coh%C3%A9rent
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 3 OBS
La notion du rayonnement cohérent n’est pas limitée aux seuls rayonnements visibles; théoriquement, elle peut s’appliquer à l’ensemble des rayonnements électromagnétiques. 2, record 3, French, - rayonnement%20coh%C3%A9rent
