Here, we assess how exponential apodisation extends peak wings and relocates area away from the peak centre. This necessitates larger integral regions to account for the same area, increasing the potential for peak overlap and introducing variability in the trueness of the measurement. As an alternative, we show that a pure Gaussian apodisation can deliver comparable SNR improvements to the common exponential apodisation when tuned to a matched broadening criterion, reducing overlap of peak wings and improving robustness of finite-window integration. As a result, the narrower line width prior to apodisation can be used to guide appropriate integral region choice.
