Dicke-superradiance in electronic systems coupled to reservoirs

Abstract

We present theoretical results for superradiance, i.e. the collective coherent decay of a radiating system, in semiconductor structures. An optically active region can become superradiant if a strong magnetic field is applied. Pumping of electrons and holes at a rate T through coupling to external `reservoirs' leads to a novel kind of oscillations with frequency $\sim \sqrt{T}$.}
