Abstract
We show that for specially designed linear dispersive media with one absorption line and one gain line the Sommerfeld precursors of a pulse can be amplified leading to an earlier detection of the signal. Also, we show that in some systems with one strong absorption line, a carefully placed gain resonance must induce a discontinuity in the imaginary part of the frequency dependent index of refraction and in the first derivative of its real part.
