+In practice, however, the relative rates of these two processes depends heavily on +the availability of electrons and holes in both states. + +In theory, we could calculate the transition rate $R_{12} = \pdv*{P_{12}}{t}$, +which would give us Einstein's absorption coefficient $B_{12}$, +for this particular case of coherent monochromatic light. +However, the result would not be constant in time $t$. + +To solve this "problem", we generalize to (incoherent) polarized polychromatic light. +To do so, we note that the energy density $u$ of an electric field $E_0$ is given by: + +$$\begin{aligned} + u = \frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 E_0^2 + \qquad \implies \qquad + E_0^2 = \frac{2 u}{\varepsilon_0} +\end{aligned}$$ + +Putting this in the previous result gives the following transition probability: + +$$\begin{aligned} + P_{12} + = \frac{2 u q^2 |V|^2}{\varepsilon_0 \hbar^2} \frac{\sin^2\!\big( (\omega_0 - \omega) t / 2 \big)}{(\omega_0 - \omega)^2} +\end{aligned}$$ + +For a continuous light spectrum, +this $u$ turns into the spectral energy density $u(\omega)$: + +$$\begin{aligned} + P_{12} + = \frac{2 q^2 |V|^2}{\varepsilon_0 \hbar^2} + \int_0^\infty \frac{\sin^2\!\big( (\omega_0 - \omega) t / 2 \big)}{(\omega_0 - \omega)^2} u(\omega) \dd{\omega} +\end{aligned}$$ + +From here, we the derivation is similar to that of +[Fermi's golden rule](/know/concept/fermis-golden-rule/), +despite the distinction that we are integrating over frequencies rather than states. + +At sufficiently large $t$, the integrand is sharply peaked at $\omega = \omega_0$ +and negligible everywhere else, +so we take $u(\omega)$ out of the integral and extend the integration limits. +Then we rewrite and look up the integral, +which turns out to be $\pi t$: + +$$\begin{aligned} + P_{12} + = \frac{q^2 |V|^2}{\varepsilon_0 \hbar^2} u(\omega_0) \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{\sin^2\!\big(x t \big)}{x^2} \dd{x} + = \frac{\pi q^2 |V|^2}{\varepsilon_0 \hbar^2} u(\omega_0) \:t +\end{aligned}$$ + +From this, the transition rate $R_{12} = B_{12} u(\omega_0)$ +is then calculated as follows: + +$$\begin{aligned} + R_{12} + = \pdv{P_{2 \to 1}}{t} + = \frac{\pi q^2 |V|^2}{\varepsilon_0 \hbar^2} u(\omega_0) +\end{aligned}$$ + +Using the relations from earlier with $g_1 = g_2$, +the Einstein coefficients are found to be as follows +for a polarized incoming light spectrum: + +$$\begin{aligned} + \boxed{ + B_{21} = B_{12} = \frac{\pi q^2 |V|^2}{\varepsilon_0 \hbar^2} + \qquad + A_{21} = \frac{\omega_0^3 q^2 |V|^2}{\pi \varepsilon \hbar c^3} + } +\end{aligned}$$ + + +## Unpolarized light + +We can generalize the above result even further to unpolarized light. +Let us return to the matrix elements of the perturbation $\hat{H}_1$, +and define the polarization unit vector $\vec{n}$: + +$$\begin{aligned} + \matrixel{1}{\hat{H}_1}{2} + = - q \matrixel{1}{\vec{r} \cdot \vec{E}_0}{2} + = - q E_0 \matrixel{1}{\vec{r} \cdot \vec{n}}{2} + = - q E_0 W +\end{aligned}$$ + +The goal is to obtain the average of $|W|^2$, +where $W \equiv \matrixel{1}{\vec{r} \cdot \vec{n}}{2}$. +In [spherical coordinates](/know/concept/spherical-coordinates/), +we integrate over all possible orientations $\vec{n}$ for fixed $\vec{r}$, +using that $\vec{r} \cdot \vec{n} = |\vec{r}| \cos\!(\theta)$: + +$$\begin{aligned} + \expval{|W|^2} + = \frac{1}{4 \pi} \int_0^\pi \int_0^{2 \pi} |\matrixel{1}{\vec{r}}{2}|^2 \cos^2(\theta) \sin\!(\theta) \dd{\varphi} \dd{\theta} +\end{aligned}$$ + +Where we have divided by $4\pi$ (the surface area of a unit sphere) for normalization, +and $\theta$ is the polar angle between $\vec{n}$ and $\vec{p}$. +Evaluating the integrals yields: + +$$\begin{aligned} + \expval{|W|^2} + = \frac{2 \pi}{4 \pi} |V|^2 \int_0^\pi \cos^2(\theta) \sin\!(\theta) \dd{\theta} + = \frac{|V|^2}{2} \Big[ \!-\!
