Abstract

Recovering the original spectral lineshapes from data obtained by instruments with extended transmission profiles is a basic tenet in spectroscopy. By using the moments of the measured lines as basic variables, we turn the problem into a linear inversion. However, when only a finite number of these moments are relevant, the rest of them act as nuisance parameters. These can be taken into account with a semiparametric model, which allows us to establish the ultimate bounds on the precision attainable in the estimation of the moments of interest. We experimentally confirm these limits with a simple ghost spectroscopy demonstration.
