Taking advantage of multiplet structure for lineshape analysis in Fourier space.

Lineshape analysis is a recurrent and often computationally intensive task in optics, even more so for multiple peaks in the presence of noise. We demonstrate an algorithm which takes advantage of peak multiplicity (N) to retrieve line shape information. The method is exemplified via analysis of Lorentzian and Gaussian contributions to individual lineshapes for a practical spectroscopic measurement, and benefits from a linear increase in sensitivity with the number N. The robustness of the method and its benefits in terms of noise reduction and order of magnitude improvement in run-time performance are discussed.
