Hey mate ^_^

 It is known that the frequency domain susceptbility χ(ω) is complex, and that the two parts can be related with the Kramers-Kronig relations. But the time domain susceptibility, χ(t)χ(t), is said to be real, according to my textbook...

Hello mate here is your answer.

No, E(t) is never complex. It is taken to be complex after we get the complex frequency-dependent susceptibility, because it just makes the math easier. However when we take E complex, we're just omitting the fact, that we have a complex E(f) and the complex conjugate E(-f) which cancel out the imaginary part. 


Hope it helps you.
