First detected in 1965 by radio astronomers studying the Orion nebula, Earth-bound attempts at producing this phenomenon were made twelve years earlier by Charles Townes.

Molecules undergoing this process are rapidly excited into higher energy states, resulting in amplified emission in spectral energies in the megahertz and gigahertz regimes. FTP, name this radiation mechanism, the molecular analogue of the more well-know photon cascade used in pointing devices and eye surgery.
