Laser without inversion: a useful concept?

Abstract: 

The modern concept of amplification and laser generation of coherent light without inversion is considered in the context of the historical developments that led to the emergence of these ideas. The two main mechanisms of amplification without inversion and their theoretical formulation are discussed. A description of three experiments confirming the existence of these effects is given.
