Abstract
We present theoretical results for superradiance, i.e. the collective coherent decay of a radiating system, in a semiconductor heterostructure under a strong quantizing magnetic field. We predict a strong peak (`Dicke-peak') in the emission intensity as a function of time, which should be observable after a short initial excitation of electrons into the conduction band. This peak has a characteristic dependence on the magnetic field and should be observable on sub-picosecond time scales. Furthermore, pumping of electrons and holes into the systems at a rate T leads to a novel kind of oscillations with frequency in the limit of the lowest Landau level.
