A maser is a device that amplifies and emits electromagnetic radiation in the microwave region of the spectrum. It works on the principle of stimulated emission of radiation, similar to a laser but operating at longer wavelengths. Masers are used in scientific research, communication systems, and atomic clocks.

Why did Charles Hard Townes win The Nobel Prize in Physics in 1964?

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1964 was divided, one half awarded to Charles Hard Townes for fundamental work in the field of quantum electronics, which has led to the construction of oscillators and amplifiers based on the maser-laser principle,the other half jointly to Nicolay Gennadiyevich Basov and Aleksandr Mikhailovich Prokhorov for fundamental work in the field of quantum electronics, which has led to the construction of oscillators and amplifiers based on the maser-laser principle.

What is the difference between a LASER and a MASER?

MASER -Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.LASER - Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.With a LASER, we get uniform, coherent, monochromatic electromagnetic radiation of wave length in the visible and near visible range (1mm-10nm).MASERs use microwaves instead and the wavelength is longer (1mm to 1m).Since the energy of a photon can be calculated by Energy= h (Planks constant) x f (frequency) the energy in a MASER is less than that in a LASER all other things being the same.
