Abstract

In this paper a short overview of the diagnostics of low temperature plasmas by optical means is presented. It is described how the results of the optical measurements, namely the intensities and profiles of the spectral lines can be used for measuring the low temperature plasma parameters ‐ temperatures, electron density, plasma velocity, magnetic and electric field in the plasma etc. Discussed are the strengths and limitations of these methods (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
