Band Absorption by the Spectral Lines with a Super-Lorentz Line Shape

Abstract

The equivalent width of a single line with a super-Lorentz line shape has been expressed in terms of a function L(x, η) which reduces to the Ladenburg-Reiche function for the special case of η=2. Some values of the function L(x, η) have been tabulated. Band absorption by the spectral lines with a super-Lorentz line shape has also been calculated from the random model with a constant distribution of line intensities.
