Linewidths Homogeneous Broadening: Affects every molecule the same way e.g. time energy uncertainty principle and pressure broadening dEdt h dndt 1 sets a minimum linewidth of dw t-1 Expressed as e-t/tdecay of final state probability the corresponds after Fourier transform to a Lorentzian lineshape FWHM=t
Linewidths Inhomogeneous broadening: Collection of molecules have a distribution of transition energies. Typically given by statistics of different molecular environments and described by Gaussian functions. FWHM=2s(2ln2) e.g. Doppler Broadening
