(Reading) JAK::3.1.G (Reading) JDJ::6.8; the 2nd edition of this book is reversed in lib. optional resources: ch2, Electromagnetic Metamaterials, Caloz & Itoh) (you can come to borrow a copy from me;) For linear dispersive media with losses, constitutive relations are easier defined in the frequency domains rather than time domain, as did in the situation like vacuum. For a more enlightening discussion on constitutive relation, see P.N. Butcher & D. Cotter, "The Elements of Nonlinear Optics," chapter 2. Cambridge 1990.
"Linearity" and "isotropy" mandate: "Reality" mandate: Fourier decomposition of E- and D-fields (the same for H- & B-fields): (generic) Poynting theorem with real fields:

The 1st term on the RHS becomes:
Assume the bandwidth of the wave is small compared to the bandwidth of the system, which is in turn much less than the carrier frequency of the light; The above condition is in general true. For example, Ti:Sapphire lasers offer extremely short pulses. With a center frequency around 800 nm, the bandwidth corresponding 100 fs is around 10 nm only. And typically the material response bandwidth is large, if not considering sharp transition such as atomic resonance.
The first two terms on RHS become: Time-average Poynting theorem in linear, isotropic, dispersive media with losses becomes: a. 1 st^ term LHS: energy input to the system from currents; b. 1 st^ term RHS: time rate of change of the stored E&M energy density; c. 2 nd^ term RHS: energy flow out of locality; Physical meaning of various terms: These two terms become:
