We have used the quantum theory of radiation, within the time-dependent Hartree approximation, to study exciton states of a van der Waals molecular crystal. The radiation variables are eliminated to give a semi-classical picture of molecular dipoles interacting through a retarded potential, and the solutions of the Hartree equations are closely connected with the quasi-particle excited states in Agranovich’s theory. In the Lorentz-Lorenz approximation the crystal has excited states which correspond to both longitudinal and transverse exciton weaves, and the refractive index behaves classically. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of metallic reflexion by dye crystals.

A TEA CO2 laser was simultaneously Q-switched and mode-locked when an underdense plasma was injected into the cavity. The plasma was produced in an electromagnetic shock tube. Plasma density and temperature were Ne ~ 1017 cm−3 and Te ~ 2 eV, respectively. Phase perturbation of the cavity due to the time dependent plasma refractive index could account for the observed mode-locking.


A coupled Hartree-Fock approximation for describing the effects of time-dependent perturbations on many-electron systems is presented. It is applied to the calculation of the frequency-dependent refractive index of helium gas with results that differ by between 4 and 8% from the accurate values obtained by a refined variational calculation.
