The dependence of the nonlinear refractive index of an optical medium on the optical wave frequency in the classical theory of dispersion of high-intensity light is shown to have the same form as in the quantum theory if a structural unit of substance in the Lorentz model is considered as two parametrically coupled nonlinear oscillators rather than one oscillator. 13 refs.
