Non-Markoffian Effect on Superradiance from Harmonic Oscillators
Tomohei Sasada · Journal of the Physical Society of Japan · 1973
The non-Markoffian effect on superradiance from an assembly of many harmonic oscillators is investigated based on a theory recently developed by Bonifacio, Schwendimann, and Haake. A superradiance master equation is solved exactly by introducing the coherent state basis. It is show how the retardation effect, which takes into account a dynamical role of the photon field played during the radiating processes, modifies the shape and Poissonian statistics of superradiant pulses obtained from the Markoffian approach.
