Abstract
We present the theory of a truly microscopic maser.1 Specifically, we consider a single-mode high-Q resonator in which a monoenergetic beam of excited two-level atoms is injected at a flux low enough that at most one atom at a time is present inside the resonator but still large enough for many atoms to traverse the cavity during its damping time.
