| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Due to the high transition probabilities to the neighboring states, highly excited Rydberg atoms emit a superradiacne radiation including a THz wave which has recently attracted much attention. Superradiance has been hard to observe in a cold Rydberg atoms, due to the mode-matching within a nonuniformly distributed atomic sample and strong atomic interactions. However, in the preceding study, the researchers observed the evidence of superradiance in a cold Rydberg Rb gas under the conditions which did not satisfy the Dicke condition. In order to systematically study a wide range of the mode-matching conditions, the improved optical system for laser trapping made larger cold Rb atoms than the previous ones and the optical system for the Rydberg excitation laser of a much higher power was designed.
