24. The detuning Δ is determined relative to the atomic resonance frequency (Formula presented) as extracted from a low-density absorption spectrum.
25. The (Formula presented) selective-reflection spectrum is, in general, not a purely dispersive curve although this reflectivity is proportional to the spatial distribution of ground-state atoms, which is uniform. The distortion of the line shape results from the large number of ground-state atoms; therefore a linear expansion of the reflectivity in density is not allowed.
