Abstract
Spectroscopic absorption contours of condensed systems appear to be described by one of several frequency functions, i.e., Gaussian, Lorentzian (T1), or Tn, where 1 < n ≤ 3. A phenomenological explanation is given in terms of a statistical model involving random perturbations on energy levels (〈ψm | H | ψn〉, 〈ψn | H | ψn〉) and orthogonal coupling matrix elements (〈ψm | Mq | ψn〉), where Mq is the light-coupling operator and n and m are the two states between which transitions occur. If the matrix elements are well shielded from perturbation or strong complexes exist such that only a few relaxations of the same order of duration can occur, Gaussian functions result. If, along with the energy levels, one of the orthogonal components is strongly perturbed by a statistically orientated environment, a Lorentzian function (T1) results. If two such components are perturbed, the predicted function is T2, and if all three components are significantly perturbed, then T3 results.
