Plasma spectroscopy is one of the disciplines in plasma physics: a spectrum of radiation emitted from a plasma is observed and its features are interpreted in terms of the properties of the plasma. In conventional plasma spectroscopy, line (and continuum radiation) intensities and broadening and shift of spectral lines have been the subject of observation. Attributes of the plasma, e.g., whether it is ionizing or recombining, what are its electron temperature and density, are deduced or estimated from the observation. We can expand the ability of plasma spectroscopy by incorporating in our framework the polarization characteristics of the radiation.
