Abstract
In this work, we present a simplified but comprehensive derivation of all the key concepts and main results concerning light pulse propagation in dielectric media, including a brief extension to the case of active media and laser oscillation. Clarifications of the concepts of slow light and "superluminality" are provided, and a detailed discussion on the concept of transform-limited pulses is also included in the Appendix.
