LinewidthsHomogeneous Broadening:
Affects every molecule the same way
e.g. time energy uncertainty principle and pressure broadening
h 1
sets a minimum linewidth of -1
Expressed as e-t/ decay of final state probability the corresponds after Fourier transform to a Lorentzian lineshape

LinewidthsInhomogeneous broadening:
Collection of molecules have a distribution of transition energies. Typically given by statistics of different molecular environments and described by Gaussian functions.
