Abstract
We investigate, in an exact manner, the phase structure of the micromaser system in terms of the physical parameters at hand like the atom cavity transit time, the atom-photon frequency detuning, the number of thermal photons and the probability for a pump atom to be in its excited state. Phase diagrams are mapped out for various values of the physical parameters. At sufficiently large values of the detuning, we find a ``twinkling'' mode of the micromaser system. A correlation length is used to study fluctuations close to the various phase transitions.
