Abstract
Polarization spectroscopic effects caused by drift selfalignment of io ns drifting slowly in a plasma have been analysed theoretically and ob served experimentally. The complex experimental-theoretical approach t o a model laboratory gas discharge in a hollow cathode enables us to p ut forward a new optical method for remote sensing of low drift veloci ties of ions and the distribution of electric fields in ionized gases of different physical nature.
