Particles are sorted for emitting coherent radiation, specifically high-energy particles (111) capable of coherent emission. Particles move toward a coherent emission chamber using molecular flow, so coherently emitting particles are collimated and minimize their distribution of output frequencies. Particles exit a coherent emission chamber in molecular flow, so coherent emission emits large amounts of energy per photon. Particles for coherent emission are energized in one or more energy modes: rotational, translational, or vibrational. Particles add translational energy using an accelerator. Energized particles reach tri-energy equilibrium after a relatively small number of collisions. Energized equilibrated particles are selected responsive to those modes, providing particles with substantially known energy distribution in each mode. Sorting particles by velocity restricts selected particles to those also having high rotational and vibrational energies. Selected particles spontaneously coherently emit radiation, so they release energy from one of the energy modes, not necessarily the energy mode for selection.
