Plasma Spectroscopy

Plasma spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to study the properties and composition of plasmas. It involves the analysis of light emissions or absorption spectra from the plasma. When a plasma is excited, its constituent atoms and ions emit light at specific wavelengths, which are characteristic of the elements present in the plasma. By analyzing these emission or absorption spectra, researchers can determine the elemental composition, temperature, density, and other important plasma parameters. Plasma spectroscopy is widely used in various fields, including astrophysics, plasma physics, materials science, and industrial applications such as plasma diagnostics in fusion devices and monitoring plasma processes in manufacturing.
