The real and imaginary part of this refractive index are not independent, and are connected through the [[Kramers–Kronig relations]], i.e. the complex refractive index is a [[linear response function]], ensuring causality. Here, the real part {{mvar|n}} is the refractive index and indicates the [[phase velocity]], while the imaginary part {{mvar|κ}} is called the '''extinction coefficient'''<ref name=DresselhausMITCourse>{{cite web
