This lecture covers the concept of dispersive media, where the relation between polarization and electric field is dynamic and history-dependent. It explains the frequency-dependent susceptibility in dispersive materials, the Kramers-Kronig relations, and the complex dielectric susceptibility. The lecture also discusses the transmission and absorption windows in different materials, such as magnesium fluoride and silicon, and provides optical constants for BK7 glass.
