However, until recently there remained some areas of controversy: for example, whereas the Lorentz model for a gas predicts a resonance shift, a discrete dipole model does not. This thesis makes the first combined measurement of both the Lorentz shift and the associated collective Lamb shift. This clear experimental result stimulated new theoretical work that has significantly advanced our understanding of light propagation in interacting media. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aOptics 606 $aElectrodynamics 606 $aAtoms 606 $aPhysics 606 $aLasers 606 $aPhotonics 606 $aClassical Electrodynamics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21070 606 $aAtomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24009 606 $aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030 615 0$aOptics. 615 0$aElectrodynamics. 615 0$aAtoms. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aLasers. 615 0$aPhotonics. 615 14$aClassical Electrodynamics. 615 24$aAtomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physics. 615 24$aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices. 676 $a535.15 700 $aKeaveney$b James$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791854 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300397503321 996 $aCollective Atom?Light Interactions in Dense Atomic Vapours$91770503 997 $aUNINA
