摘要：

We have measured the two-particle correlation function of atoms from a Bose-Einstein condensate participating in a superradiance process, which directly reflects the second-order coherence of the emitted light. We compare this correlation function with that of atoms undergoing stimulated emission. Whereas the stimulated process produces correlations resembling those of a coherent state, we find that superradiance, even in the presence of strong gain, shows a correlation function close to that of a thermal state, just as for ordinary spontaneous emission.
