   42   \section{Assembly of independent molecules}
   43   So far the description of the interaction between light and matter has been
   44   in a very general form, where it was assumed merely that the interaction
   45   is local, and in the electric dipolar approximation, where magnetic dipolar
   46   and electric quadrupolar interactions (as well as higher order terms) were
   47   neglected. The ensemble of molecules has so far no constraints in terms of
   48   composition or mutual interaction, and the electric dipolar operator is
   49   so far taken for the {\sl whole ensemble of molecules}, rather than as
   50   the dipole operator for the individual molecules.

   55     and mutually independent molecules.}
   56   \medskip
   57   \noindent
   58   For many practical applications, however, the obtained general form is
   59   somewhat inconvenient when it comes to the numerical evaluation of the
   60   susceptibilities, since tables of wave functions, transition frequencies
   61   and their corresponding electric dipole moments etc. often are tabulated
   62   exclusively for the individual molecules themselves. Thus, we will now
   63   apply the obtained general theory to an ensemble of identical molecules,
   64   making a transition from the wave function and electric dipole operator
   65   of the whole ensemble to the wave function and electric dipole operator
   66   of the individual molecule, and find an explicit form of the electric
   67   susceptibilities in terms of the {\sl quantum mechanical matrix elements
   68   of the molecular dipole operator}.
   69   
   70   We will now apply three assumptions of the ensemble of molecules,
   71   which introduce a significant simplification to the task of expressing
   72   the susceptibilities and macroscopic polarization density in terms of
   73   the individual molecular properties:
   74   \smallskip % \narrower
   75   \item{1.}{The molecules of the ensemble are all identical.}
   76   \item{2.}{The molecules of the ensemble are mutually non-interacting.}
   77   \item{3.}{The molecules of the ensemble are identically oriented.}
   78   \smallskip
   79   From a wave functional approach, it is straightforward to make the
   80   transition from the description of the ensemble down to the molecular
   81   level in a strict quantum mechanical perspective (as shown in Butcher
   82   and Cotters book). However, from a practical engineering point of view,
   83   the results are quite intuitively derived if we make the following
   84   observations, which immediately follow from the assumptions listed above:
   85   \smallskip
   86   \item{$\bullet$}{The positions of the individual molecules does not
   87     affect the electric dipole moment of the whole ensemble in $V$, if we
   88     neglect the mutual interaction between the molecules. (This holds only
   89     if the molecules are neutrally charged, since they otherwise could
   90     build up a total electric dipole moment of the ensemble.)}
   91   \item{$\bullet$}{Since the mutual interaction between the molecules is
   92     neglected, we may just as well consider the individual molecules as
   93     constituting a set of ``sub-ensembles'' of the general ensemble picture.
   94     In this picture, all quantum mechanical expectation values, involved
   95     commutators, matrix elements, etc., should be considered for each
   96     subensemble instead, and the macroscopic polarization density will
   97     in this case become
   98     $$
   99       {\bf P}({\bf r},t)=
  100         {{\left\{\matrix{{\rm the\ number\ of\ molecules}\cr
  101                   {\rm within\ the\ volume\ }V}\right\}
  102         \times\left\{\matrix{{\rm the\ expectation\ value\ of\ the}\cr
  103                              {\rm molecular\ dipole\ operator}}\right\}}
  104         \over{\left\{{\rm the\ volume\ }V\right\}}}.

  112   Assuming there are $M$ mutually non-interacting and similarly oriented
  113   molecules in the volume $V$, the macroscopic polarization density of the
  114   medium can be written as
  115   $$

  138         &=N\langle e\hat{\bf r}\rangle\cr
  139     }
  140   $$
  141   where $N=M/V$ is the number of molecules per unit volume, and
  142   $$
  143     \langle e\hat{\bf r}\rangle=\Tr[\hat{\varrho}(t) e\hat{\bf r}]
  144   $$
  145   is the expectation value of the {\sl mono-molecular} electric dipole
  146   operator, with $\hat{\varrho}(t)$ (that is to say, $\hat{\rho}(t)$ with a
  147   ``kink''\footnote{${}^1$}{{\bf kink} {\it n.} {\bf 1.} a sharp twist or
  148   bend in a wire, rope, hair, etc. [{\sl Collins Concise Dictionary},
  149   Harper-Collins (1995)].} to indicate the difference to the density
  150   operator of the general ensemble) is the molecular density operator.
  151   Notice that the form ${\bf P}({\bf r},t)=N\langle e\hat{\bf r}\rangle$
  152   is identical to the previous form for the general ensemble, though with
  153   the factor $1/V$ replaced by $N=M/V$, and with the electric dipole operator
  154   $\hat{Q}_{\alpha}$ of the ensemble replaced by the molecular dipole moment
  155   operator $e\hat{r}_{\alpha}$.
  156   
  157   When making this transition, the condition that the molecules are mutually
  158   independent is simply a statement that we {\sl locally} assume the
  159   superposition principle of the properties of the molecules (wave functions,
  160   electric dipole moments, etc.) to hold.
  161   
  162   Going in the limit of non-interacting molecules, we may picture the
  163   situation as in Fig.~2, with each molecule defining a sub-ensemble,
  164   which we are free to choose as our ``small volume'' of charged particles.
  165   As long as we do not make any claim to determine the exact individual
  166   positions of the charged particles together with their respective momentum
  167   (or any other pair of canonical variables which would violate the Heisenberg
  168   uncertainty relation), this is a perfectly valid picture, which
  169   provides the statistical expectation values of any observable property
  170   of the medium as $M/V$ times the average statistical molecular observations.
  171   
  172   The previously described operators of a general ensemble of charged
  173   particles should in this case be replaced by their corresponding
  174   mono-molecular equivalents, as listed in the following table.

  201   $$
  202   Whenever an operator is expressed in the interaction picture, we should
  203   keep in mind that the corresponding time development operators $\hat{U}_0(t)$,
  204   which originally were expressed in terms of the thermal equilibrium
  205   Hamiltonian $\hat{H}_0$ of the ensemble, now should be expressed in terms
  206   of the mono-molecular thermal equilibrium Hamiltonian $\hat{\cal H}_0$.
  207   
  208   The matrix elements of the mono-molecular electric dipole operator, taken
  209   in the interaction picture, become
  210   $$
  211     \eqalign{
  212       \langle a|e\hat{r}_{\alpha}(t)|b\rangle

  231   where $\Omega_{ab}=({\Bbb E}_a-{\Bbb E}_b)/\hbar$ is the molecular transition
  232   frequency between the molecular states $|a\rangle$ and $|b\rangle$.
  233   We may thus, at least in some sense, interpret the interaction picture
  234   for the matrix elements of the molecular operators as an out-separation
  235   of the naturally occurring transition frequencies associated with a change
  236   from state $|a\rangle$ to $|b\rangle$ of the molecule.

  238   \subsection{First order electric susceptibility}

  240   as derived in the previous lecture, one obtains
  241   $$

  292   This result, which was derived entirely under the assumption that all
  293   resonances of the medium are located far away from the angular frequency
  294   of the light, possesses a new type of symmetry, which can be seen
  295   if we make the interchange
  296   $$
  297     (-\omega,\mu)\leftrightharpoons(\omega,\alpha),
  298   $$
  299   which by using the above result for the linear susceptibility gives
  300   $$

  313     }
  314   $$
  315   which is a signature of the {\sl overall permutation symmetry} that applies
  316   to nonresonant interactions. With this result, the reason for the peculiar
  317   notation with ``$(-\omega;\omega)$'' should be all clear, namely that it
  318   serves as an explicit way of notation of the overall permutation symmetry,
  319   whenever it applies.
  320   
  321   It should be noticed that while intrinsic permutation symmetry is a general
  322   property that solely applies to nonlinear optical interactions, the overall
  323   permutation symmetry applies to linear interactions as well.

  325   \subsection{Second order electric susceptibility}
  326   In similar to the linear electric susceptibility, starting from the general
  327   form of the second order (quadratic) electric susceptibility, one obtains

  533   that is to say, the second order susceptibility is left invariant
  534   under any of the $(2+1)!=6$ possible pairwise permutations of
  535   $(-\omega_{\sigma},\mu)$, $(\omega_1,\alpha)$, and $(\omega_2,\beta)$;
  536   this is the {\sl overall permutation symmetry for the second order
  537   susceptibility}, and applies whenever the interaction is moved
  538   far away from any resonance.
  539   
  540   We recapitulate that when deriving the form of the nonlinear
  541   susceptibilities that lead to intrinsic permutation symmetry,
  542   either in terms of polarization response functions in time domain
  543   or in terms of a mechanical spring model, nothing actually had to be stated
  544   regarding the nature of interaction.
  545   This is rather different from what we just obtained for the overall
  546   permutation symmetry, as being a signature of a nonresonant interaction
  547   between the light and matter, and this symmetry cannot (in contrary to
  548   the intrinsic permutation symmetry) be expressed unless the origin
  549   of interaction is considered.\footnote{${}^2$}{It should though be
  550   noticed that the derivation of the susceptibilities still may
  551   be performed within a mechanical spring model, as long as the
  552   resonance frequencies of the oscillator are removed far from the
  553   angular frequencies of the present light.}
