One of the essential criterion for laser action is that the excited state must be1. inverted2. of lower energy3. a metastable state4. of higher energy

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : a metastable state

If an atom is excited into a metastable state it can stay there long enough for a photon of correct frequency to arrive. Such a situation promotes stimulated emission at the expense of spontaneous emission and leads to laser action.
