ACTIVE MATERIAL FOR OPTICALLY PUMPED MASER AND OPTICALLY PUMPED MASER Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H01S1/02 

FIELD: physics, optics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to quantum electronics. The active material for an optically pumped maser includes a silicon carbide crystal with paramagnetic vacancy defects. The optically pumped maser includes a microwave generator (1), a circulator (2), a magnet (3) between the poles of which there is a resonator (4) with a translucent window (5), an active material (6) in form of a silicon carbide crystal with paramagnetic vacancy defects, placed inside the resonator (4), and a pulsed or continuous light source (7), optically connected through the translucent window (5) of the resonator (4) to the active material (6).

EFFECT: enabling operation of the maser at room temperature.
