Abstract
We theoretically demonstrate how the cuprous oxide Cu2O could be used as a gain medium in a solid-state maser. By taking advantage of radiative microwave transitions between highly excited Rydberg states, one can achieve population inversion and masing in a wide range of wavelengths. In the pulsed emission regime, the considered excitonic system is characterized by intricate and rich dynamics, which are investigated numerically, taking into account several key features of the medium, such as strong Stark shift of energy levels and the presence of the Rydberg blockade effect.
