Amplified Quantum Initiation Effects in Superfluorescence Emission in Coherently-Pumped Three-Level Systems

  • Conference paper
Book cover Coherence and Quantum Optics V

Abstract

We present a model and calculational results and analysis for the effects of coherent pump dynamics, quantum initiation, propagation, transverse and diffraction effects on superfluorescent (SF) emission from a collection of N optically-pumped three-level systems. The full, nonlinear, co-propagational aspects of the injected pump pulse, together with the SF which evolves, are explicitly treated in the calculation.
