MASER is LASER with Microwave instead of Light. I think Ammonia Gas was used in MASERs. Look up it's spectra to see where it can provide gain. Magnetron might not be able to tune enough so it better be close. A Magnetron puts out a lot of power anyway; amplifying with a MASER might be more trouble than it's worth. I think MASERs were originally used as low noise amplifiers for sensitive receivers. Of course I could be totally wrong, Ric Peregrino ric@spd.hp.com
