33. The schemes of this type were considered in the context of amplification without inversion by P. Mandel and O. Kocharovskaya [17]. However, the results of their analysis do not apply directly to the case considered here, since this analysis does not take into account the modification of the decay rates, which occurs in the presence of the applied electric field.
