Maser
A maser is any amplifier that produces coherent electromagnetic waves due to stimulated emission.
Masers in Nature
Masers also occur in nature in interstellar space. Water molecules in star-forming regions can undergo a population inversion and emit radiation at 22 GHz, creating the brightest spectral line in the radio universe. Some water masers also emit radiation from a vibrational mode at 96 GHz.
