Linearisation of the equations

• Manipulate the equation for the field generated by a driving polarisation to get

• Simplify by making the substitutions

k=nw/c and m0e0=1/c2

• Loss coefficient a is given by

a=m0sc/2

• The final linearised equation for the field generated by the driving polarisation is given by
