Maser
A Maser is a device that produces coherent electromagnetic waves, typically in the microwave range. The term "Maser" stands for "Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." It works by amplifying microwave signals, which can be used in various applications, including telecommunications and scientific research.
Masers are similar to lasers, which produce light waves, but they specifically focus on microwave frequencies. They can be found in satellite communication systems and are essential in certain types of atomic clocks, contributing to precise timekeeping and navigation technologies.
