Dielectric response, nonlinear-optical processes, and the Bloch–Maxwell equations for polarizable fluids

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Reduced equations of motion, which generalize the Bloch–Maxwell equations to polarizable fluids with intermolecular interactions, are derived. Local-field effects are analyzed using the solvable limiting case of a perfect crystal. The dielectric function (k, ω) and the nonlinear susceptibility χ(3) are explicitly evaluated for a model system. Two four-wave mixing techniques, which provide a direct probe for transport processes, are analyzed: the transient grating and its frequency-domain analog. A unified picture is provided for transport phenomena, cascading, and polariton effects.
