On the Theory of Vibronic Superradiance
The Dicke superradiance on vibronic transitions of impurity crystals is
considered. It is shown that parameters of the superradiance (duration and
intensity of the superradiance pulse and delay times) on each vibronic
transition depend on the strength of coupling of electronic states with the
intramolecular impurity vibration (responsible for the vibronic structure of
the optical spectrum in the form of vibrational replicas of the pure electronic
line) and on the crystal temperature through the Debye-Waller factor of the
lattice vibrations. Theoretical estimates of the ratios of the time delays, as
well as of the superradiance pulse intensities for different vibronic
transitions well agree with the results of experimental observations of
two-color superradiance in the polar dielectric KCl:O2-. In addition, the
theory describes qualitatively correctly the critical temperature dependence of
the superradiance effect.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figur
