Abstract
In this paper, we examine the effect of atomic hyperfine structure in micromaser physics which has not been considered so far. We examine both the case of completely degenerate hyperfine levels and small hyperfine splittings and show that the dynamics of the micromaser can be significantly modified. We also describe possible strategies to realize a quasi two-level system in the micromaser.
