A quantum mode theory of the micromaser

Failure of the steady solution of the master equation was analysed. It was found that the state of sustained oscillation exists only when the ratio of photon decay rate γ to injection rate r is satisfied. Based on this understanding, a quantum mode micromaser theory was developed. The threshold ν th and photon distribution for π and 2π mode were calculated. The instability of quantum mode was analyzed as well.
