$ \def\drvop#1{{\frac{d}{d{#1}}}} \DeclareMathOperator\erfc{erfc} $ A spectral line profile which is Doppler broadened (a Gaussion profile) and collision broadened (a Lorentzian, Breit-Wigner, or Cauchy profile) is named after Woldemar Voigt. The tool voigt.tbz computes the Voigt function H(a,v) given by Zaghloul 2007 as \begin{equation} H(a,v) = \exp(a^2) \ \erfc(-v^2) \ \cos(2av) + \frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}} \ \int_0^v \exp[-(v^2 - u^2)] \ \sin[2a(v - u)] \ {\rm d}u \label{eq1} \tag{1} \end{equation} where "a" is the ratio of the natural width to the Doppler width and "v", distance from line center in units of the Doppler width. A modest contribution has been adding the derivatives dH/da and dH/dv, and showing how the damped sinusoid may be accurately integrated.

The Voigt function is also the real part of w(z)=exp(-z2) erfc(iz) with z = a + i v, the Faddeeva function, the complex probability function, the plasma dispersion function. One may want to compare the answers and performance produced by voigt.tbz to those produced by TOMS 916.
