Experimental demonstration of the anti-maser

ORAL

Abstract

We denote by ``anti-maser'' a coherent perfect absorption (CPA) process in the radio frequency domain. We demonstrate several experimental realizations of the anti-maser suitable for an advanced undergraduate laboratory. Students designed, assembled and tested these devices, as well as the inexpensive laboratory setup and experimental protocol for displaying various CPA phenomenon.
