It is shown that — within the framework of an idealized model with taking into account backscattering at density fluctuations — there is a number N K of atoms such that for an atomic number N ≫ N K forward‐backward independence will be found while N ≪ N K leads to synchronized superfluorescence pulses in both directions.
