The propagation of light in 'dense media' where dipole-dipole
interactions play a role is a fundamental topic that was first
studied in the work of Clausius, Mossotti, Lorenz and Lorentz in
the latter half of the nineteenth century. However, until recently
there remained some areas of controversy: for example, whereas the
Lorentz model for a gas predicts a resonance shift, a discrete
dipole model does not. This thesis makes the first combined
measurement of both the Lorentz shift and the associated collective
Lamb shift. This clear experimental result stimulated new
theoretical work that has significantly advanced our understanding
of light propagation in interacting media.
