We consider the conditions necessary for the development of an inverted population among the energy levels of free atoms in a medium exposed to radiation in spectral nonequilibrium. In particular, we focus on monochromatic radiation occurring as a result of an accidental wavelength coincidence between a pumping emission line and a pumped absorption line in two different elements. We examine especially the influence of "pseudometastable" states (at medium excitation) in the complex spectrum of Fe 11, which cause a "bottleneck" in the radiative decay leading to an inverted level population. We also discuss the effect of spectral compression of the Lyman continuum into H Ly-alpha radiation at a high effective temperature. In conclusion, we describe those differences between microwave astrophysical masers (APM) and optical astrophysical lasers (APL) that make the latter a more rare phenomenon in nature.
