Plasma Spectroscopy by Takashi Fujimoto, Department of Engineering, Physics and Mechanics, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University, Japan

About this book :

This book focuses on the characteristics of optical radiation, or a spectrum, emitted

by various plasmas. In plasma, the same atomic species can produce quite different

spectra, or colours, depending on the nature of the plasma. This book gives a

theoretical framework by which a particular spectrum can be interpreted correctly and

coherently. The uniqueness of the book lies in its comprehensive treatment of the

intensity distribution of spectral lines and the population density distribution among

the atomic levels in plasmas. It is intended to provide beginners with a good perspective

of the field, laying out the physics in an extremely clear manner and starting from an

elementary level. A useful feature of the book is the asterisked sections and chapters

which can be skipped by readers who only wish to gain a quick and basic introduction

to plasma spectroscopy. It will also be useful to researchers working actively in the

field, acting as a guide for carrying out experiments and interpreting experimental

observations.

Readership: Graduate students and researchers working in plasma, atomic, laser physics

and astrophysics.
