Wecalculate the dispersive properties of a single-sided cavity coupled toa single dipole. We show that when a field isresonant with the dipole and the Purcell factor exceeds thebare cavity reflection coefficient, the field experiences a phaseshift relative to reflection from a bare cavity. We thenshow that optically Stark shifting the dipole resonance with asecond field creates large Kerr nonlinearities. An approximate expression forthe total number of photons needed to create a phase shift is derived.
