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.
