Abstract
A kinetic photon transport model that accounts for spatial coherence is applied to line radiation in optically thick plasmas. It is shown that the photon emission and absorption processes are delocalized in space, which alters the global plasma opacity to spectral lines. Based on this analysis, we demonstrate that spectral profiles and escape factors can be much larger than expected from usual formulas.
