We consider the possibility of creating a graviton laser. The lasing medium would be a system of contained, ultra cold neutrons. Ultra cold neutrons are a quantum mechanical system that interacts with gravitational fields and with the phonons of the container walls. It is possible to create a population inversion by pumping the system using the phonons. We compute the rate of spontaneous emission of gravitons and the rate of the subsequent stimulated emission of gravitons. The gain obtainable is directly proportional to the density of the lasing medium and the fraction of the population inversion. The applications of a graviton laser would be interesting.

Reflecting Gravitons: The Graviton Laser and the Gertsenshtein effect
Gravitons can be reflected using the Gertsenshtein effect to convert them to photons and back, enabling repeated passes through a graviton lasing medium for terrestrial graviton lasers.
