Stimulated emission of bremsstrahlung radiation by electrons in high Rydberg states is analysed theoretically. This approach to bremssstrahlung masers is shown to overcome some of the previous difficulties in realizing a practical value for the bremsstrahlung gain in the millimeter‐wave regime by allowing volumetric production of mono‐energetic electrons within a time period which is short compared to the thermalization time of the electron energy distribution, and by relaxing the criteria on the energy dependence bremsstrahlung gain coefficient.
