I Dielectric constant, dispersion and response of the medium

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on a PhD student's inquiry about a specific formula related to electric flux density and its first derivative in the context of a gain medium's influence on spectral linewidth in a fiber cavity. The student seeks clarification on the justification for the formula's expansion and requests references to aid in understanding. After conducting their own research, they ultimately find the justification independently. The thread concludes with gratitude towards those who contributed to the discussion. The focus remains on the complexities of deriving and understanding the formula in question.

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.
