Differential equations of spin dynamics and asymptotic expansion of quantum expectation values near the classical limit. II

The method developed in Part I is used to obtain asymptotic expansions of the functions that represent spin operators and of the quantum expectation values near the classical limit J→∞. We calculate with accuracy to the first quantum correction the correlation functions responsible for the statistical properties of cooperative spontaneous emission (super-radiance) of a gas of twolevel molecules. It is shown that the light emitted by a finite number of molecules does not have coherence of higher orders. The statistics of the field of quantum fluctuations is discussed.
