Dielectric constant, dispersion and response of the medium

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the derivation and justification of formula (A3) related to the electric flux density in the context of a gain medium's influence on spectral linewidth within a fiber cavity. The original poster sought clarification on the expansion to the first derivative presented in the formula. After engaging with the community, the poster successfully found the justification independently, indicating the collaborative nature of academic inquiry in complex topics such as dielectric constants and dispersion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electric flux density concepts
  • Familiarity with gain media in optical physics

TL;DR
Electric flux density in a dispersive medium.
Hello,

for my PhD, I've been studying an influence of a gain medium on spectral linewidth of light inside a fiber cavity. I've encountered a formula in one paper to which I don't how to get to (see screenshot), it's the formula (A3).

On the left hand side there is electric flux density, the right hand side is expanded to the first derivative. I'm not sure what justifies the expansion and how you can get to it. You can find the whole paper here, but the formula (A3) stands separtely in the text.

I've performed my own search already, found only this, but didn't help me to derive/justify (A3).

I would really appreciate the explanation or to be directed to right references.

Thank you.

I've found the justification by myself, thanks everyone who attempted to tackle it.
