Doppler and Collision Broadening Effects in the Profile of Spectral Lines.

Abstract

The physical contributions causing various types of spectral lines are described. The conventional combined effects or Voigt profile is derived. A mathematically consistent line shape theory is proposed and equations are derived. Applications of the resultant Voigt, Sung, and Fowler theory are presented and its relevance discussed.
