Experimental Studies of Transverse Effects in Superfluorescence

  • Conference paper
Coherence and Quantum Optics V

Abstract

We are currently conducting experiments to investigate transverse effects in superfluorescence (SF). These experiments are designed to clarify the conditions under which superradiant ringing (similar to Chiao-Burnham ringing(1)) can occur. In addition, these experiments will provide a test of the transverse coherence properties of superfluorescent pulses.(2)

Work performed at the MIT Regional Laser Center.
