Masers(Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) Ariunaa Bayarbat Chuck Protheroe John Leone Phys 4D 2006SRJC What’s a maser? Maser is a microwave beam that has been amplified through coherent stimulated radiation emission What this means is that a molecule is in a certain environment where its outer electrons are in a high energy state and is bombarded by a photon (in this case a microwave) which causes the electrons to ‘jump down’ in energy level and release another photon so that both photons have the same phase, frequency, and direction. This makes the photons add up
