This video explains 3 level systems and 4 level systems in lasers for A Level Physics.
In reality a three or four level energy system is used to allow a population inversion, with the atoms excited by pumping them with an external source of energy. In both a three level system and a four level system, we have a metastable energy level where electrons drop down to pretty instantly after being excited. 3 and 4 level systems produce a cascade effect of photons in a laser, allowing them to be more powerful.
