	Maser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The maser is based on the principle of stimulated emission proposed by Albert Einstein in 1917.
		The dual noble gas maser [2] is an example of a masing medium which is nonpolar.
		Masers are used predominantly as weaponry, both from spaceships and by ground troops in Peter F. Hamilton's Night's Dawn universe, as well as appearing in his Commonwealth saga.

	Astrophysical maser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1997, 1667-MHz maser emission from the OH molecule was observed from comet Hale-Bopp.
		The 1720 MHz maser transition of the OH molecule is known to be associated with supernova remnants that interact with molecular clouds.
		Astronomical masers remain an active field of research in radio astronomy and laboratory astrophysics due, in part, to the fact that they are valuable diagnostic tools for astrophysical environments which may otherwise elude rigorous quantitative study and because they may facilitate the study of conditions which are inaccessible in terrestrial laboratories.

		The waves produced by the maser are coherent, that is, all of the same frequency, direction, and phase relationship, while the waves produced by most sources of electromagnetic radiation are emitted in all directions over a wide range of frequencies and have all possible phase relationships.
		The principle of the maser was conceived of in the early 1950s, based on the developments of the quantum theory, and the first maser was operated in 1954 by C. Townes, J. Gordon, and H. Zeiger.
		In the maser, electromagnetic radiation is produced by stimulated emission; an atom or molecule in an excited state (i.e., a state of increased energy) emits a photon of a specific frequency when struck by a second photon of the same frequency.

	interstellar maser
		A maser formed through the interaction between high-energy starlight and a nearby region rich in molecules; the first was discovered in 1965.
		Masers are also found near long-period variables (LPVs), and arise when the turbulent upper photosphere of a luminous star undergoing mass loss is exposed to the radiation from below.
		Physically, this has been interpreted as a spherically symmetric circumstellar envelope with an inner maser region at rest relative to the star, and an outer masing region expanding away from the star at around 10 km/s; this gives rise to blue- and red-shifted peaks on either side of the one at rest.

	What is a MASER?
		A LASER is a MASER that works with higher frequency photons in the ultraviolet or visible light spectrum (photons are bundles of electromagnetic energy commonly thought of as "rays of light" which travel in oscillating waves of various wavelengths).
		The first papers about the MASER were published in 1954 as a result of investigations carried out simultaneously and independently by Charles Townes and co-workers at Columbia University in New York and by Dr. Basov and Dr. Prochorov at the Lebedev Institute in Moscow.
		In each frame, a molecule in the upper level of the MASER transition (that is, in the high energy, excited state) is indicated by a large red circle, while one in the lower level (low energy state) is indicated by a small blue circle.

		0 masers overlaid on the continuum with a velocity range between -260 km/s and +270 km/s, whose relative positions we estimate are accurate to ~0.01".
		Masers have a population inversion which means that there are more electrons in the excited state than in the ground state.
		Maser observations of W49N were done using the VLA in line mode using 2 intermediate frequencies (IF's), at 22 GHz at four different time periods–24 July 1998, 6 September 1998, 26 June 1999, 18 July 1999.

	ASTROPHYSICS: ON ASTRONOMICAL MASER EMISSIONS
		It was only because laboratory masers had already been invented (2) that the discoverers could understand the physical mechanism of the maser.
		The maser and its younger optical cousin, the laser, remain prototypical examples of the powerful technologies inspired by quantum mechanics and 20th-century physics.
		Today, masers are extending the reach of quantum mechanics to revolutionary new methods of computation and communication and are probing theories that seek to unify quantum mechanics with general relativity --the other major part of 20th-century physics.

		The space borne maser system is operated using an on-board computer that implements a number of automated procedures for controlling the maser and testing its operational parameters.
		The H maser oscillator shown in cross-section in Figure 4, consists of a microwave resonant cavity assembly and storage bulb, an RF dissociator that creates a beam of hydrogen atoms that arestate selected and focused into the bulb by a hexapole permanent magnet, and vacuum pumps to remove expended hydrogen and other gases.
		Hydrogen flow into the maser is controlled by permeation through a heated palladium silver diaphragm, sensing the pressure in the dissociator by means of a thermistor Pirani gauge, and regulating the diaphragm temperature.

		In the case of NGC 4258, the maser emission has also provided the means by which to measure a geometric distance (Herrnstein 1997), to pinpoint the location of the central engine, and to measure the position offset between the engine and the nozzle of the associated relativistic jet at 1.35 cm wavelength (Herrnstein et al.
		Strong maser emission requires long gain paths in molecular gas, which presumably are not oriented along the line of sight in the putative face-on orientations of the compact disk and toroidal structures in Seyfert 1 nuclei.
		If high-velocity maser emission is ultimately discovered in this galaxy, the inferred rotation speed and upper limits (or estimates) of velocity drift may be used to estimate the characteristic radius of the molecular disk in which the masers may lie, or limits thereon.

	Invention of the Maser and Laser
		Charles Townes and his colleagues were the first to build a "maser," which operated in the microwave frequency range.
		Radiating at a wavelength of a little over one centimeter, the power of this first maser was tiny, some ten nanowatts.
		But the energy was concentrated in a spectacularly sharp line in the emission spectrum--in other words, the radiation was exceedingly uniform, consisting of a single wavelength with little contamination from other wavelengths.

	Auto-Tuning Hydrogen Maser WebCam
		The tuning is accomplished by varying the voltage to a varactor diode inside the cavity (the variable capacitance slightly changes the cavity Q).
		A full-range change of the DAC changes the maser output frequency by about 2.7e-12 so a 1% DAC change is 2.7e-14, a 0.1% change is 2.7e-15, and a one bit DAC change is 6.6e-16.
		This explains why the mid-term stability of this maser is not as good when in cavity tuned mode.

	maser
		"Maser" stands for "microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." Masers (and their optical counterpart, lasers) involve the interaction between an electromagnetic wave of a certain wavelength and an atom or a molecule in a suitable (excited) energetic state.
		The passage of the wave triggers the atom/molecule to give up energy in the form of more radiation of exactly the same wavelength.
		This reinforces the passing wave, which can then interact with more excited atoms to build up a well-directed, intense pulse of monochromatic (single-wavelength) radiation Several types of interstellar maser have been identified but, as yet, no optical or infrared astrophysical lasers.
