Abstract
The processes of superfluorescence (SF) and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) are quite well understood theoretically and have been the subject of extensive experimental investigation. However, relatively little work has been directed toward understanding the nature of the emission process in the intermediate regime between these two limits, that is, the regime in which dephasing occurs rapidly enough to modify the emission process yet is not so rapid as to prevent entirely the establishment of a macroscopic dipole moment.1-3 Indeed, this intermediate regime is particularly interesting because it has not been clear how the effects of noise should be incorporated into the theory when dephasing processes occur during the formation of the macroscopic dipole moment.
