Thanks guys I'll check out the references you gave me and get back to you. I hope that I find a derivation that includes the continuum corresponding to the discrete eigenvalues.
Yes I was referring to natural lifetime broadening. I know that in gases the Doppler broadening is more effective, however it is the natural lifetime broadening that I am concerned with

Hi all!
I have a problem understanding the essence of the lineshape function. This function is supposed to describe the linewidth of the emission from a two level system, i.e. practically, the discrete levels of stationary states are not exactly discrete. I thought this be the case when we...
