## Overview "First light" refers to the first successful test of a microwave laser for Project Elara. > **Note:** The details of the design have now been moved to [[Prototype free-electron maser design]], which details both the full-scale and prototype versions of the proposed system. ## Construction and Testing Our experimental setup will be (but not be limited to) at least a software waveguide for measurement purposes. The experiment must be conducted in shielded conditions, with a Faraday cage or similar.
