✦ Synopsis

The temperature of the laser sustained plasma has been determined from the continuum emission coefficient at different wavelengths. The experiments were performed in an argon plasma at the pressure of 10 atm. The spurious continuum resulting from merging of spectral lines was investigated numerically. Its influence on the measured emission coefficient in the red region has been found to be considerable.
