Resonant and Non Resonant Susceptibility

[n0_3sc]

The imaginary part of the \chi ^3 susceptibility can be split into the resonant and non resonant contributions.
The resonant is the contribution from satisfying a resonant vibrational state/mode, but what contributes to the non resonant term?

everything else, apparently.
