COST 529, April 12-16, Madeira, Portugal IAPS, University of Latvia Spectral line profile is important to control self-absorption or radiation trapping for design consideration of low pressure lamps for lighting application - resonance radiation of Hg at 185 nm and 254 nm in all cases when narrow spectral line is necessary – for atomic absorption, optical pumping, quantum standards, for spectral reference to get important plasma parameters (such as gas temperature, lower state density, collisional broadening)

COST 529, April 12-16, Madeira, Portugal IAPS, University of Latvia Example of atomic absorption spectrometry Narrow, not self-absorbed spectral line is neccessary -- > to get high differential cross section of atomic absorption --> low limits of detection
