Sound amplification by stimulated emission of radiation mechanism and an active medium. The pumping procedure can be induced for example by an alternating electric field or with some mechanical vibrations of resonators, followed by acoustic amplification in the active medium. The fact that a SASER operates on principles remarkably similar to a laser, can lead to an easier way of understanding the relevant operation circumstances. Instead of a feedback-built potent wave of electromagnetic radiation, a SASER delivers a potent sound wave. Some methods for sound amplification of GHz-THz have been proposed so far. Some have been explored only theoretically and others have been explored in non-coherent experiments.
A Sense of Direction A Sense of Direction A Sense of Direction is an album led by vibraphonist and composer Walt Dickerson recorded in 1961 and released on the New Jazz label. AllMusic awarded the album 4½ stars with its review by Steve Huey stating, "If it's a shade less challenging and inventive than "This Is Walt Dickerson!", "A Sense of Direction" compensates by making Dickerson's innovations more accessible and inviting". Down Beat reviewer Pete Welding wrote "if it is only slightly less adventurous than his initial recording, it is still an ardent collection -- primarily of ballads -- treated with unflagging invention and
