Superradiance in Radiatively Coupled Tuning Forks

Abstract
The effect of superradiance in the decay of coupled harmonic oscillators has been demonstrated in some simple experiments with two tuning forks and resonators. The results show the theoretically predicted shortening and lengthening of the decay times according as the oscillators are initially in phase or in antiphase. When the initial phase difference is π/2, the decay times appear to be unaffected by the coupling of the oscillators.
