Abstract
We explore conditions for Dicke superradiance in a cloud of atoms by examining the Taylor series expansion of the photon emission rate at $t=0$. By defining superradiance as an increasing photon emission rate for $t\ensuremath{\sim}0$, we have calculated the conditions for superradiance for a variety of cases. We investigate superradiance as defined for photon emission into all angles as well as directional superradiance where the photon emission is only detected in a particular direction. Although all of the examples are for two-level atoms that are fully inverted at $t=0$, we also give equations for partially inverted two-level atoms and for fully inverted multilevel atoms. We give an algorithm for efficiently evaluating these equations for atom arrays and determine superradiance conditions for large atom number.
