Abstract
A theoretical interpretation is given of delayed spontaneous emission of light pulses recently observed in HF gas. It is shown that the large delays can be accounted for by inhomogeneous broadening, which can quench the cooperative emission of radiation to the benefit of incoherent decay.Keywords
