Consideration is given to the possibility of using stimulated Compton scattering for obtaining laser action. The advantages of a Compton laser are that it is voltage tunable over a wide frequency range and may provide intense, coherent radiation in portions of the spectrum where other sources are not readily available. It is found that appreciable gain exists at far infrared wavelengths.
Pantell et al. (1968) studied this question.
