Scientific paper

Several applications of pulsar radio spectroscopy have provided important and unique contributions to studies of the interstellar medium (ISM). Pulsar observations of the cold, diffuse ISM probe the extreme (AU-scale) end of the turbulent spectrum suggesting the prevalence of the incompressible type of fluctuations. Pulsar observations of the hydroxyl molecule clearly demonstrate significant clumpiness of molecular clouds. The exciting detection of the pulsar-stimulated emission at 1720 MHz represents direct and unique evidence for an interstellar maser in action. This stimulated emission cycles with the pulsar's pulse on millisecond timescales and represents the quickest variations ever observed in any interstellar maser.
