- Additional information
- MASERs are not widely used because they require high magnetic fields and cryogenic temperatures. This first demonstration of continuous solid state masing in diamond at room-temperature was a cover photo in Nature. It was the subject of a patent (“Room Temperature Masing Using Spin-Defect Centres”, WO2019021002A1) and a finalist in the LASER World of PHOTONICS Innovation Award ("Quantum Diamond for Room Temperature MASER"). The results underpinned the subsequent award of an EPSRC project (“Room Temperature Continuous-Wave Inorganic Maser”, EP/S000798/1 and EP/S000690/1; £1.03M) with industrial project partners CeramTec UK Ltd, DNA Electronics, Element Six Ltd, Litron Lasers and Metrol Technology Group.
