Superfluorescence in the presence of inhomogeneousbroadening and relaxation

Hyperfine Interactions Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

In this paper we show how inhomogeneous broadening produces dephasing, inhibits cooperative emission and thus reduces the intensity of the SF pulse. We also show how electronic relaxation or time-dependent hyperfine interactions can mollify the effect of inhomogeneous broadening so that SF can be recovered.
