The combination of the Lorentz-Lorenz formula with the Lorentz model of dielectric dispersion results in a decrease in the effective resonance frequency of the material when the number density of Lorentz oscillators is large. An equivalence relation is derived that equates the frequency dispersion of the Lorentz model alone with that modified by the Lorentz-Lorenz formula. Negligible differences between the computed ultrashort pulse dynamics are obtained for these equivalent models.
