Evenly pump a sphere of lasing material

[Spinnor]

Qualitatively what is the nature of emitted light if we evenly pump a sphere of lasing material? Suppose there are no mirrors to favor one direction.

Does the answer depend at all on the size of the sphere?

Thanks!

Thanks Paul, now I know where to start.
