Talk:Miller's rule (optics)

Mathematical error.
For consistency with other equations it appears that a change is needed such as -


 * $$D(\omega)=\frac{1}{\omega_\mathrm{0}^2-\omega^2-\tfrac{i\omega}{\tau}}  $$

to read -


 * $$D(\omega)={\omega_\mathrm{0}^2-\omega^2-\tfrac{i\omega}{\tau}}  $$

Free carrier relaxation time.
I find this quite confusing since there aren't really free electrons in the system studied.

I suggest it would be better to call it just "electron relaxation time".

Or to follow the text referenced, change it for the dipole damping rate $$2\gamma$$:
 * $$2\gamma = \frac{1}{\tau} $$
