title: Generalized Miller formulae.
abstract: We derive the spectral dependence of the non-linear susceptibility of any order, generalizing the common form of Sellmeier equations. This dependence is fully defined by the knowledge of the linear dispersion of the medium. This finding generalizes the Miller formula to any order of non-linearity. In the frequency-degenerate case, it yields the spectral dependence of non-linear refractive indices of arbitrary order.
