Effects of Low-Polarizability Perturbers on the Cadmium Intercombination Line

Using a laser-induced fluorescence method a detailed analysis of profiles of the $\text{}^{114}$Cd 326.1 nm line perturbed by neon and helium was performed which revealed deviations from the ordinary Voigt profile. These deviations are shown to be consistent with fits of experimental profiles to an asymmetric Voigt profile. Coefficients of the pressure broadening, shift and collision-time asymmetry are determined and compared with those calculated in the adiabatic approximation for different interaction potentials.
