Atomic spectral line free parameter deconvolution procedure.
We report an advanced numerical procedure for deconvolution of theoretical asymmetric convolution integral of a Gaussian and a plasma broadened spectral line profile j(A,R)(lambda) for spectal lines. Our method determines all broadening parameters, self-consistently and directly from the line profile with minimal assumptions or prior knowledge. This method is useful for obtaining complete information on all plasma parameters directly from the recorded shape of a single line, which is very important in case no other diagnostic methods are available. The method is also convenient for determination of plasma parameters in the case of a symmetrical profile such as Voigt one.
