Abstract
An approximate solution is given to the master equation describing the cooperative spontaneous emission from a large number of excited two-level atoms. Our solution allows an easy analytical computation of the statistical properties of the radiated optical field. Comparison with previously reported computer results shows a satisfactory agreement. Furthermore, a formal justification is provided to a recent heuristic model of superradiant pulses.Keywords
