Abstract
We summarize a new field-theoretical derivation of the near dipole-dipole or local field correction for dynamic electromagnetic fields interacting with a nonlinear medium. We present some of our recent results on a coherently-prepared collection of three-level atoms in a lasing without inversion scheme. In this system, we find local-field enchanced inversionless gain and absorptionless index, as well as a pressure sensitive or piezophotonic switching effect

We use Mathematica, which is especially suited for this type of work, for the substitutions and concomitant plots of the real (χ’ NDD ) and the imaginary (χ’ NDD ) part of this susceptibility as a function of the dimensionless detuning Δ/g.
