Abstract :
Spatial maps of individual argon atomic emissions are measured in the GEC (gaseous electronic conference) reference reactor by monochromatic imaging. The plasma discharge is viewed through a grating monochromator, and the images are recorded with an intensified charge-coupled device (CCD) array detector. Each atomic emission has a unique spatial profile that is related to the spatial energy distribution in the plasma
