An exact calculation of the Voigt spectral line profile in spectroscopy has been derived using the Fourier transform method. The analytical formula we calculated is a real function, rather than a complex function as has been previously discussed, because the imaginary part will be zero in our calculation. The analytical formula is very convenient in practical applications. The relationship of the half width of the Voigt profile, the Gaussian profile and the Lorentzian profile is also discussed. Through analysis using a computer simulation, we find that the formula we calculated is in good agreement with the experimental result. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
