1203.2135 (Nicolai ten Brinke et al.)

On the feasibility of a nuclear exciton laser    [PDF]

Nicolai ten Brinke, Ralf Schützhold, Dietrich Habs
Nuclear excitons known from M\"ossbauer spectroscopy describe coherent excitations of a large number of nuclei -- analogous to Dicke states (or Dicke super-radiance) in quantum optics. In this paper, we discuss the possibility of constructing a laser based on these coherent excitations. In contrast to the free electron laser (in its usual design), such a device would be based on stimulated emission and thus might offer certain advantages, e.g., regarding energy-momentum accuracy.
