title: Collective emission and absorption in a linear resonator chain.
abstract: We show that a linear chain of circular macroscopic resonators coupled in parallel demonstrates the phenomena of "superabsorption" and superradiance. Both the frequency spectrum of the transmitted light through the resonator chain and the decay rate of the resonator chain being prepared in a proper initial state are proportional to the number of resonators in the chain, N, and the intensity of the emitted radiation grows as N(2). The spectral bandwidth, the growth of the decay rate, and the intensity are restricted by the dispersion of the waveguides connecting the resonators.
