Modeling the dispersion of light

From MaRDI portal





The authors consider the developments of Maxwell's equations necessary to account for dispersion. They develop the Kramers-Krönig relations and suggest a modification of the expression for polarization when there are several distinct types of atoms. They point out that visible light may be regarded as a high frequency phenomenon and discuss possible transitions between opacity and transparency as the frequency varies. They obtain asymptotic expansions in terms of the resonant frequency and obtain the relevant group velocity. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0866.00048].
