We have carried out a theoretical and numerical study of disorder-induced changes in the absorption line shape of a chromophore embedded in a host matrix. The stochastic sudden jump model is employed wherein the host matrix molecules are treated as noninteracting two-level systems (TLSs) occupying p...
