Abstract
Results of a model calculation are presented for the dynamical evaluation of superfluorescence from a coherently-pumped three-level system with the full propagational, transverse and diffraction effects taken into account. It is demonstrated by two examples that the injected coherent pump pulse initial temporal and radial width variations can have significant deterministic effects on the superfluorescence pulse delay time and intensity optimization. Thus, by specifying certain initial properties of the injected pump pulse, the superfluorescent pulse can be shaped and altered. These results predict some of the conditions under which an injected light pulse of a given frequency can be used to shape and control a second light pulse of a different frequency via a nonlinear medium, thus demonstrating the phenomenon of light control by light.
