Radiation Eigenmodes of Dicke Superradiance

Quantum Physics 2021-03-31 v1

Abstract

We calculate the field eigenmodes of the superradiant emission from an ensemble of NN two-level atoms. While numerical techniques are effective due to the symmetry of the problem, we develop also an analytical method to approximates the modes in the limit of a large number of emitters. We find that Dicke superradiant emission is restricted to a small number of modes, with a little over 90\% of the photons emitted in a single dominant mode.
