Calculation of rf field characteristics using non-perturbative optical diagnostics with a generalized dynamic Stark effect model

Summary form only given. The dynamic Stark effect is a phenomenon in which photon(s) associated with an oscillating electric field are absorbed or emitted with the photon associated with an electronic transition. This multi-photon process leads to the formation of satellites in the spectrum at integer multiples of the frequency associated with the dynamic electric field. Utilizing the dynamic Stark effect the electric field parameters can be determined from the time-averaged and phase resolved optical emission spectra. The applicability of the dynamic Stark effect as a function of the frequency associated with the dynamic electric field will be discussed. Theoretical and experimental time-averaged and phase resolved optical emission spectra for hydrogen and helium will be compared. The capability of the dynamic Stark effect to extract the phase and magnitude of the harmonics associated with the dynamic electric field will be presented.
