Sound amplification by stimulated emission of radiation the lattice levels, until they escape from the lattice structure in a form of an ultrahigh frequency-phonon beam. Namely, a concerted emission of phonons can lead to coherent sound and an example of concerted phonon emission is the emission coming from quantum wells. This stands in similar paths with the laser where a coherent light can build up by the concerted stimulated emission of light from a lot of atoms. A SASER device transforms the electric potential energy in a single vibrational mode of the lattice (phonon). The medium where the amplification takes place, consists of stacks of thin layers
Stimulated emission to the number of atoms in the lower state, "N". Einstein showed that the coefficient for this transition must be identical to that for stimulated emission: Thus absorption and stimulated emission are reverse processes proceeding at somewhat different rates. Another way of viewing this is to look at the "net" stimulated emission or absorption viewing it as a single process. The net rate of transitions from "E" to "E" due to this combined process can be found by adding their respective rates, given above: Thus a net power is released into the electric field equal to the photon energy "hν"
