Superfluorescence as a cooperative amplifier of hidden anisotropy in a ferroelectric hybrid perovskite
Abstract
Superfluorescence (SF), intense picosecond bursts from self-synchronizing dipoles, is promising for room-temperature quantum sources. Yet, whether this synchronization can convert weak structural anisotropies into robust macroscopic order remains an open question. Here, we demonstrate that polycrystalline ferroelectric 2D perovskite thin films exhibit strongly linearly polarized SF with a degree of polarization (DOP) up to 86%. Remarkably, macroscopic polarization emerges without external bias despite randomly oriented microscopic domains, suggesting a cooperative gain mechanism that amplifies weak local anisotropies by several orders of magnitude into coherent, linearly polarized light bursts. Our results establish cooperative superfluorescence as a general concept for translating microscopic anisotropy into robust macroscopic order, exemplified here for linear polarization, offering a sensitive probe of hidden material symmetries and a framework for polarized quantum light sources
