Abstract

Results of the analysis and numerical calculations of continuous spectra of multicomponent multicharged plasma radiation are presented. Possibilities of control of the radiation spectrum by the mixture composition variation and programming in time the pulsed discharge current of the supply source are considered. Free and forced (by energy deposition or additional cooling) relaxation time estimations permit the definition of discharge parameters when plasma formation goes on under nonequilibrium conditions, leading to controlled energy redistribution over the spectrum.
