Item description from seller

N.G. Bassov [sic] and A.M. Prokhorov (Nikolay Gennadiyevich Basov and Alexander Prokhorov) "The Theory of a Molecular Oscillator and a Molecular Power Amplifier" in "Discussions of the Faraday Society," no. 19 ("Microwave and Radio-Frequency Spectroscopy", Aberdeen, 1955; 9.5x6", 281pp, with the article on pp 96-99. Original wrappers. VG copy. Pioneering quantum physics work laid the groundwork for what we now know as masers and lasers—it was a foundational theoretical framework for the maser leading directly to the invention of the laser. "The Nobel Prize in Physics 1964 was awarded to N.G. Basov, Charles H. Townes and Aleksandr M. Prokhorov "for fundamental work in the field of quantum electronics, which has led to the construction of oscillators and amplifiers based on the maser-laser principle".--Nobel Prize Foundation. "Stimulated emission means that a light packet, a photon, coming in contact with an atom can cause an electron to descend to a lower energy level so that an additional photon with the same amount of energy is emitted. If electrons are elevated to higher energy levels with the help of heat or light, an avalanche-like effect occurs when they fall to lower levels. In the 1950s Nicolay Basov, Aleksandr Prokhorov and Charles Townes contributed to putting this phenomenon into practical use in masers and lasers, which produce concentrated and coherent beams of microwaves and light, respectively."--ibid. "The details of an oscillator were worked out by the Soviets in the post-war years with an initial presentation by Basov and Prokhorov on the theoretical details in 1952 followed by their first publication two years later describing the same work. At the time the two referred to their device as molecular amplifier and generator, or MAG, with the name “maser” being coined later in the United States." --Lindau Nobel Laureates Meeting, article on Nikolai G. Basov by Benjamin Johnson. "Basov and Prokhorov presented their theoretical work (independently of Charles Townes in the U.S.) on how to amplify microwaves and light using the quantum properties of molecules. Their framework established the main tenets of quantum electronics." --ibid 714.3.…

Description de la boutique

We have been in business since 1985--including a store in Georgetown, D.C. from 1985-2002--specializing in significant and hard-to-find works in modern (say, after 1850) physics, math, astronomy, and technology, and other bits and bobs. Shipping notice for overseas parcels: customs, VAT, and all other shipping fees and add-ons are the responsibility of the buyer.
