Abstract
An optical pulse propagating through a linear medium is known from the Kramers-Kronig relations to have a group velocity that is superluminal when the pulse's carrier frequency is close to but outside of a gain line. Group velocities that are greater than c, negative or infinite, are found in a transparent window on either side of the gain line.
