= Voigt profile
{wiki=Voigt_profile}
The Voigt profile is a mathematical function that describes the spectral line shape of light emitted or absorbed by atoms and molecules. It accounts for both Doppler broadening and pressure broadening (also known as collisional broadening). In more detail: - **Doppler Broadening** occurs due to the thermal motion of particles, which causes variations in the observed frequency of the spectral line based on the velocities of the emitting or absorbing species.
