The discussion centers on the potential of using Young's double slit experiment to achieve effects similar to those of lasers by manipulating microwaves. Participants highlight that while lasers and masers operate on different wavelengths within the electromagnetic spectrum, the principles of amplification by stimulated emission of radiation apply to both. The conversation emphasizes that masers, which function in the microwave range, predate lasers and may offer advantages in terms of efficiency and intensity under certain conditions.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, engineers, and researchers interested in optical technologies, microwave applications, and the fundamental principles of light amplification.
hell_demon said:can it be possible that using young's double slit experiment or by any metod on converging and magnifying the intensity of microwaves it can give same effect as LASER
jtbell said:The first devices that performed "amplification by stimulated emission of radiation" did in fact operate in the microwave band. Masers came before lasers.
hell_demon said:i meant better than laser in the way of reaching it's maximum functionality in the time period less then the laser and might have more efficiency/intensity then laser.
