Abstract

A technique is developed to deduce the complex effective polarizability tensor from the complex optical susceptibility tensor of molecular crystals. A simple algebraic treatment is used to compare the polarizability and susceptibility behaviour near an isolated absorption. Peaks in the imaginary part of the effective polarizability are related to the site-shifted molecular transition frequencies of exciton theory. Results for pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) illustrate the technique and confirm that it gives realistic polarizabilities as a function of frequency.
