Abstract
Failure of the steady solution of the master equation was analysed. It was found that the state of sustained oscillation exists only when th e ratio of photon decay rate gamma to injection late tau is satisfied. Based on this understanding, a quantum mode micromaser theory was dev eloped. The threshold nu(th) and photon distribution for pi and 2 pi m ode were calculated. The instability of quantum mode was analyzed as w ell.
