Abstract
Sub-Doppler degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) spectroscopy in phase- conjugate configuration has been used to study Stark width and shift of the 696.543 nm ArI line in a local thermal equilibrium argon arc plasma. DFWM spectroscopy has been used for line profile measurements as well as for plasma diagnostics. At high laser intensities, the relationship between DFWM signal intensity and plasma temperature has been experimentally determined and then used for plasma diagnostics. In the range of low laser intensities the measured line profile has been approximated by a third power of a Lorentzian profile with line width depending on laser intensity. The results of plasma diagnostics by DFWM have been compared to those by commonly used optical emission spectroscopy. This comparison shows that the methods give similar results within the uncertainty limits.
