Abstract: The paper regards the super-radiance decay of localized excitation in the line of two-level atoms. The excitation is demonstrated to be underradiated. The residual part forms polarization waves propagating from areas of residual excitation to the line edge.

Keywords: superradiance, localized excitation, linear chain, two-level atom, polarization waves.
