Abstract

The well-known phenomenon of superradiance, or superfluorescence, predicted by Dicke, has been observed in systems of quantum, strongly anharmonic two-and three-level oscillators. We find that the analogous phenomenon of neoclassical superradiance is possible in the infrared optics for the systems of vibrating molecules, i.e., for the systems of classical, weakly anharmonic oscillators with quasiequidistant spectrum of energy levels.^1-5
