The OH maser emission from OH/IR stars (type IIb) originates from the thick circumstellar dust shell. As the envelope is expanding and the strongest maser emission comes from the front- and the backside, where the gain pathlength is longest, we can measure a definite phaselag (and hence a diameter) between front- and backside of the shell for all sources that are variable.
