Optical Maser by the Method of Electron Excitation,
Abstract
A method of achieving optical maser oscillation by electron excitation was investigated. In this scheme, atoms in the ground level, upon being collided by incident electrons, made transitions to excited levels. It was shown that maser oscillation is possible between 2 excited levels, if certain conditions are satisfied. A simple model was used for general analysis, and an Hg vapor system was utilized as an example. (Author)
