MASER -Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

LASER - Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

With a LASER, we get uniform, coherent, monochromatic electromagnetic radiation of wave length in the visible and near visible range (1mm-10nm).

MASERs use microwaves instead and the wavelength is longer (1mm to 1m).

Since the energy of a photon can be calculated by Energy= h (Planks constant) x f (frequency) the energy in a MASER is less than that in a LASER all other things being the same.

laser Uses light in visible frequency (light that human can see) while maser uses light in microwave frequency (light waves we cannot see)

Laser emit photons of more frequency shorter wavelength and greater energy while maser emit photons of less frequency with large wavelength and hence less energy.

Scientific discoveries that led to technological advances?

The invention of the Maser, followed soon after by the Laser allowed a huge spread of technologies. From surveying, through to the check-out counter, the laser is ubiquitous today.From a similar era, the computer, and its operational languages affect most parts of today's activities.Both the Maser and Laser are themselves technologies, but they followed on theoretical speculation and research.
