In this article the authors discuss a new approach for developing a coherent source of ..gamma..-rays. They offer a completely different scheme for development of the source that should overcome most of the problems encountered in ''classical ..gamma..-ray lasers,'' and in which the use of inverse Compton scattering of laser radiation onto a relativistic electron beam is made. This kind of interaction has been used to obtain ..gamma..-ray photons with good polarization and monochromaticity properties. The authors describe a new geometry of interaction which allows one to obtain coherent emission.
