Abstract

We consider the problem of two-photon cooperative emission in systems of two-level atoms. Two physically distinct regimes are analyzed. First, we investigate the case of a small number of atoms. We study the evolution of two-photon super- and sub-radiant states and associated two-photon spectra. Second, we investigate the problem of a constant density of atoms confined to a spherical volume. We analyze separately the cases in which the radius is small or large in comparison to the resonant wavelength.
