20. A similar expression for the group velocity was obtained by E. Paspalakis, N. J. Kylstra, and P. L. Knight, Laser Phys. 9, 819 (1999); Phys. Rev. A 61, 045802 (2000), for the case of a short pulse. Their derivation was time dependent rather than steady state, as given here, and the connection between the slope of the dispersion and the group velocity was not given explicitly.
