New type cavity resonator is designed for hydrogen maser. Resonator consists of three pieces of glass-ceramic material having extremely low thermal coefficient of expansion and provides very stable mechanical tuning.
Maser output frequency shift was prevented by storage bulb kept at temperature at which wall shift is zero and effects of bulb size, shape, and surface texture are eliminated. Servo system is shown, along with bidirectional counter.
The suggestion is explored that scattering by inhomogeneities in the distribution of electrons causes astronomical masers to appear larger than their actual sizes. It is shown that neither scattering near the source nor scattering in the intervening medium is sufficiently strong to produce this effect.
The results of an experimental determination of the statistical properties of radiation from OH maser sources are reported and interpreted. The radiation is found to have Gaussian statistics with no deviations greater than 1%.
Slow-wave structure of traveling-wave maser utilizes comb system which is comprised of ruby on one side and alumina on other; alumina also supports isolator material. Radiation at pump frequency is coupled to ruby through shaped alumina strips. Contact between ruby bars and comb completes conductance path for heat transfer.
A superconducting magnet to provide a uniform magnetic field of up to 8000 G in a 1.14-cm gap for the 15.3-GHz (Ku-band) traveling wave maser is described. The magnet operates in a persistent mode in the vacuum environment of a closed-cycle helium refrigerator (4.5 K). The features of a superconducting switch, which has both leads connected to 4.5 K heat stations and thereby does not receive heat generated by the magnet charging leads, are described.
A description of measurements of light-shift and light-broadening parameters for an Rb-87 maser operating between the field independent levels is reported. A parallel study of the spectral profile of the D1 pumping line is described. Comparison between the experimental results and theoretical calculations, taking into account the spatial inhomogeneity of the pumping light in the absorption cell, is presented.
Research work on the theory of lasers and masers is reported. Special attention is given to technological applications of laser theory.
