Abstract: For many years composite structures have been the building blocks of materials with specialized mechanical properties, but only recently have related ideas been used successfully to develop new optical materials. A particularly simple example, hot pressed zinc sulfide dispersion hardened with diamond particles, has turned out to be extremely useful for identifying the important optical moments underlying the dynamical properties of all transparent composites and complex dielectrics. One result has been the discovery of a generalized Lyddane-Sachs-Teller relation for solids and liquids. When the characteristic frequencies of small disordered dielectric particles are described in terms of optical moments of the appropriate response functions, generalized Szigeti and Clausius-Mossotti expressions follow.
