Abstract

The dynamics of a beam maser, the first device in quantum electronics, was the subject of attention more than thirty years ago^[1-4]. However, the interest in a beam masers has increased recently due to their applications in the study of fine quantum effects of atom interaction with the cavity field^[5-6]. One of the most important feature of the presently used maser is a monovelocity atomic beam. A theory of a monovelocity beam maser was developed by Filipowicz et al.^[7] and Guzman et al^[8].
