Description

A scheme for computation of emission spectra of light diatomic molecules under external magnetic and electric fields is presented. As model species in fusion edge plasmas, the scheme is applied to polarization-resolved emission spectra of H2, CH, C2, BH and BeH molecules. The possibility of performing spatially resolved measurements of these spectra is examined. (brief communication)
