| 2. | It is not useful for LASER. | It is useful for LASER. |
| 3. | Spontaneous emission does not require an external electromagnetic stimulus to release energy | Stimulated emission does require external electromagnetic stimuli to release energy. |
| 4. | The probability of spontaneous emission to take place is higher than the probability for stimulated emission to take place | The probability of stimulated emission to take place is higher than the probability for spontaneous emission to take place |
