  • Abstract
    The question of the existence of distributed gain mechanisms in solid-state plasmas is discussed. It is concluded that such plasmas may be active, i.e., capable of transferring net energy to electromagnetic waves, even though these waves are stable in the sense that they do not grow spatially.
