Abstract
We investigate the role of turbulent fluctuations on line shape formation in optically thin plasmas. A general expression, valid if the turbulent scales are much larger than the atomic scales, is obtained for the profile measured using a passive spectroscopy set up. Well-known limiting cases for Doppler and Stark broadening are identified. Then, the role of temperature fluctuations on Doppler line shapes, and the effect of density fluctuations on Stark broadened lines in the quasi-static regime are investigated.
