Superradiant lasing and collective dynamics of active centers with polarization lifetime exceeding photon lifetime

Analytic theory and qualitative analysis of the threshold conditions, nonlinear formation and spectral features of the pulsed superradiant emission and cooperative radiative behavior of many-particle systems in a low-Q Fabry-Perot cavity with distributed feedback of counter-propagating electromagnetic waves are carried out. Novel superradiant lasers are shown to be promising in the information optics and condensed matter physics.
