reabsorption of emitted line radiation by cooler atoms of the same species in a source, flattening line profiles and bending calibration curves.

In spectroscopy, self-absorption refers to reabsorption of emitted line radiation by cooler atoms of the same species in a source, flattening line profiles and bending calibration curves. This meaning comes from Cowan (1948) in Reviews of Modern Physics.[1]
