Stark Profiles of Spectral Lines Corresponding to the Transitions to Rydberg Levels of Argon: Possibilities for Diagnostics of Weak Electric Fields in Plasmas

Description

Quantitative description of the Stark effect on Rydberg levels of argon atoms is given. Theoretical dependences of the shift and splitting of both allowed and forbidden spectral lines of argon atoms on the magnitude of the electric field are obtained. These dependences can be used for laser-aided measurements of weak electric fields in low temperature plasmas
