Abstract
Using an interferometric method, detailed analysis
of the self-broadened 748.8 nm Ne line shapes emitted from the glow discharge of neon
was performed, where departures from the ordinary Voigt profile were observed.
These departures are
shown to be consistent with fits of the speed-dependent asymmetric Voigt profile to experimental profiles.
It was shown that neglecting the correlation between Doppler and collisional broadening
may cause errors in determined line shape parameter values.
Coefficients of the pressure broadening, shift and collision-time
asymmetry are determined and compared with those calculated in the adiabatic
approximation for the van der Waals and Lennard-Jones potentials.
