Superradiance (Dicke Superradiance)
A quantum mechanical phenomenon where a collection of excited atoms emits radiation collectively and simultaneously, resulting in a brighter, shorter spike of radiation than individual fluorescence. It requires the spacing between particles to be smaller than the wavelength of the emitted photons.
