Cascade superfluorescence in Er:YLF

We report the analysis of paired photon pulses arising from two cascading transitions in continuously pumped erbium-doped YLiF_{4} 1% and 0.01% crystals at 1.6 K. The dependence of the pulse peak intensity on the squared number of involved erbium ions, between 10^{11} and 10^{13}, definitely identif...
