Title :
Masers and Millimeter Waves
Abstract :
This paper examines the characteristics of several types of proposed masers to see what characteristics they can be expected to have in the region between one and a tenth millimeter. In particular, estimates are given for the maximum power output and efficiency of a number of maser systems operating as oscillators or power sources. Additionally, the expected noise temperature for maser systems in this frequency region are compared with those at lower frequencies.
