The Development of the Maser and Laser Leads to Widespread Commercial and Research Applications Summary
1,615 words, approx. 5 pages
In 1953 Charles Hard Townes (1915- ) produced the first working maser. Masers generate and amplify beams of coherent microwave radiation through stimulation of excited energy states in resonant atomic or molecular systems. MASER is an acronym for this...
