Abstract
We now turn from our discussion of the nature of a material’s linear and nonlinear response to an external electric field, to the consequences of the latter. We have seen that we can decompose the electric dipole moment per unit volume into a linear portion, and a nonlinear portion, as in (1.7 a).
