• Abstract: Superradiant emission from long-lived excited states of an atomic ensemble confined in an optical cavity constitutes a practical source of light with narrow linewidth. In the pulsed regime, however, superradiance implies rapid emission and a broadening of the spectrum. Recent experiments have demonstrated constructive and destructive interference of superradiant emission by different strontium atomic transitions. In this article, we show that by modulating the atomic transition frequencies with a magnetic field, it is possible to control the release of the atomic excitation energy as a prolonged pulse or a train of superradiant pulses. By simulations, we show that heterodyne detection of the prolonged superradiance shows extremely sharp spectral features, which leads to significantly reduced frequency uncertainty and fluctuation.

  We show that even for sub-Doppler temperatures, the motion of atoms can significantly affect the nature of both superradiation and subradiation. It is shown that the change in the lifetime of the given adiabatic term of the diatomic quasi-molecule induced by the change in the interatomic distance can lead not to the anticipated weakening of subradiation effect but to its enhancement.

• Measurements of blackbody radiation-induced transition rates between high-lying S, P and D Rydberg levels [47.187609203210705]
  We report experimental measurements of the rates of blackbody radiation-induced transitions between high-lying (n>60) S, P and D Rydberg levels of rubidium atoms in a magneto-optical trap. Our results reveal significant deviations of the measured transition rates from theory for well-defined ranges of the principal quantum number. We conclude that it should be possible to use such external cavities to control and suppress the blackbody radiation-induced transitions.
