Abstract
The authors report the first observation of superradiant cascading effects in rubidium Rydberg levels. For excited state densities of the order of 1010 cm-3, superradiant emissions drastically modify the radiative behaviour of highly excited states. Some features of a multi-level superradiant system are investigated.Keywords
