Answer

$1.146\times10^{6}\;W$

Work Step by Step

The Cr ions are in the first excited state: $N_1=0.6\times4\times10^{19}$ The Cr ions are in the first excited state: $N_0=0.4\times4\times10^{19}$ Total energy of the of the photons emitted in per pulse of the laser: $E=(N_1-N_0)E_p$ where, $E_p$ is the energy of a photon $E_p=\frac{ch}{\lambda}=\frac{3\times10^{8}\times6.63\times10^{-34}}{694\times10^{-9}}\;J=2.866\times10^{-19}\;J$ Therefore, the average power emitted during the pulse is $P=\frac{E}{t}=\frac{(N_1-N_0)E_p}{t}$ or, $P=\frac{(0.6-0.4)\times4\times10^{19}\times2.866\times10^{-19}}{2\times10^{-6}}\;W=1.146\times10^{6}\;W$
