A quantum unified theory of Stark broadening in the wings of spectral lines

A simple and tractable quantum expression of the line wings is given when the upper and lower levels of the spectral lines are both perturbed. This quantum profile converges towards the impact regime at small distances from the line centre and towards the quasistatic limit when the usual semiclassical approximations are made. The correspondence between quantum and semiclassical expressions is examined, and the passage from the former to the latter clarifies the implicit assumptions which are always made in any unified semiclassical approach.
