31. A similar constraint occurs for the group delay in transmission of fiber Bragg gratings, which can be uniquely determined from the amplitude response of the grating [see L. Poladian, Opt. Lett. 22, 1571 (1997)].

35. A possible profile may be obtained by imposing the minimal phase shift requirement for r(δ), that is, by choosing the phase of r(δ) using a Hilbert transform again. More complex methods, that enable greater flexibility in the design, have recently been discussed in [33].
36. The occurrence of abnormal (i.e., superluminal or negative) group velocities in pulse propagation through either atomic or photonic structures has been demonstrated on several occasions (see, for instance, [40] and references therein); however, the existence of negative group velocities for pulse propagation in photonic structures has not yet been predicted.
37. In case of a Gaussian pulse envelope, a complex group delay and the inclusion of the second-order term in the asymptotic expansion of Eq. (A7) do not change the functional form of the pulse; however, they change the effective peak pulse delay, pulse duration, and pulse chirp. The role of the imaginary part of the complex delay time in the propagation of chirped Gaussian pulses has recently been investigated by: G. D'Aguanno, M. Centini, M.J. Bloemer, K. Myneni, M. Scalora, C.M. Bowden, C. Sibilia, and M. Bertolotti, Opt. Lett. 27, 176 (2002).
