Research on Molecular and Atomic Resonance Devices

摘要

The work of the last four quarters is reviewed and the results obtained during the fifth quarter are described. This work embraces two separate programs of investigation:one in gaseous beam-type masers and one in solid-state masers.nResearch in molecular beam masers has included the investigation of noise in quantum mechanical systems, the frequency-mixing properties of quantum mechanical systems, and the determination of methods for improving maser performance and reducing the threshold beam intensity required for oscillation. The program is now oriented towards millimeter wave generation.
