Masers amplify by way of a special effect of quantum physics known as "stimulated emission of radiation." (The name "maser" stands for "Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation...
According to quantum theory, an electron in an atom can exist at any one of several discrete energy levels. When an electron falls from a higher level to a lower one, the atom gives off radiation at a specific frequency--for example, a microwave or a light wave...
