The Voigt line profile is a convolution of a Gaussian with this man's namesake profile for natural or resonant line widths.
The Voigt line profile is a convolution of a Gaussian with this man's namesake profile for natural or resonant line widths. Independently of a Danish scientist with a similar last name, he discovered a relation that is equivalent to the Clausius-Mossotti equation. His line profile has the shape of a Cauchy distribution, and the group of inhomogeneous transformations named for him is also known as the Poincaré group. He lends his name to the electromagnetic force on a moving charged particle, and to the transformations between inertial frames in special relativity. FTP name this Dutch physicist who explained the Michelson-Morley result with a namesake contraction hypothesized independently of Fitzgerald.
