Is the natural linewidth a homogeneous or inhomogenous broadening mechanism? homogeneous inhomogeneous depends on actual time scale of decay

Is the natural linewidth a homogeneous or inhomogenous broadening mechanism? homogeneous inhomogeneous depends on actual time scale of decay

Is pressure broadening a homogeneous or inhomogenous broadening mechanism? homogeneous inhomogeneous depends on actual time scale of decay

Is pressure broadening a homogeneous or inhomogenous broadening mechanism? homogeneous inhomogeneous depends on actual time scale of decay Note that most textbooks characterize pressure broadening as homogeneous. However, this is not true in general and depends on whether the time between collisions is e.g. short compared to the natural lifetime.
