Abstract: A method is provided for controlling access to content accessible via a data network, by transmitting an IP address in response to a name resolution request with respect to a domain name or IP address. If an access request is performed for an IP address or a name resolution for a domain name marked with an access control marker, an identifier is transmitted with at least one returned IP address, which indicates that the retrievable content retrieved should be subject to access control at the requesting computer system, e.g., because the content contains adult content. Using an IP address for this purpose has the advantage that the transmission of the IP address does not require changes in the established name resolution and transmission protocols, and IP addresses can be hierarchically structured. This allows a faster check as to whether a specific IP address lies in a specified address region.

In a second variant, a local population inversion is created by pump light, with simultaneously optical signals being beamed into the population-inverted section with the emission wavelength and by light created by stimulated emission being detected.
