Fg. Baksht et Vf. Lapshin, RADIATION CHARACTERISTICS OF A DENSE CESIUM PLASMA IN THE VISIBLE RANGE, Technical physics letters, 23(12), 1997, pp. 961-963
Calculations are made of the radiation spectrum from a cesium plasma c
olumn. It is shown that this plasma may serve as a light source with a
high proportion of visible radiation and an almost continuous spectru
m. The visible spectrum is formed mainly by bright recombination 6P an
d 5D continua whose thresholds are shifted in the long-wavelength dire
ction. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
