Abstract:
In this paper, we present the different theoretical line profiles, which can be used to describe a shape of molecular transitions in dilute gases: the Voigt, Galatry, Rautian and speed dependence models. We discuss their limitations and their advantages, and present for illustration different comparisons of model results with experimental data obtained with several diode laser spectrometers suitable for precise line shape measurements.
