The MASER (Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) was discovered before the better known laser. It generates and amplifies coherent electromagnetic waves of precise frequency by using the excess energy of an atomic system. Like all advanced-tech energy weapons, it fires a pulse rather than a continuous beam.
