Abstract
Optical emission spectroscopy technique was used to measure gas temperature along the axis of cylindrical abnormal glow discharge parallel to the copper cathode surface (side-on) in hydrogen-argon mixture at low pressure. The rotational temperature of excited state of H<sub>2</sub> was determined from the rotational structure of Q branch of Fulcher-α diagonal bands using Boltzmann plot technique while the obtained ground vibrational state temperature is assumed to be equal to gas temperature. The temperature T<sub>0</sub> determined from the rotational population density distribution in an excited vibrational state can be considered as a valid estimation of the ground state temperatutre i.e. H<sub>2</sub> gas temperature.
