Dipole strengths in the chlorophylls.
Measurements of dipole strengths of chlorophylls in solution are reviewed and correlated. The refractive index dependence is found to be expressible in a simple empirical fashion that does not rely on the concept of vacuum dipole strength. The index dependence in some respects contradicts the dependence expected on the basis of effective field theories.
