Abstract
Measurements are reported of the quantum fluctuations in superfluorescence delay times. The fluctuations depend strongly on the Fresnel number of the sample. For fair agreement with recent theories is obtained, while for larger the fluctuations are smaller. A qualitative explanation for this dependence is proposed. No correlation has been found between the delay times of pulses emitted from opposite ends of the same sample.
