Abstract: This paper reports a diode laser based system which is applicable to the measurement of electric field in the sheath region of a hydrogen plasma. The electric field is deduced from the Stark spectrum of the Balmer-α line of atomic hydrogen. Saturation spectroscopy with a Doppler-free spectral resolution is adopted to detect the Stark effects of the low energy states. We have demonstrated a detection limit of 10 V cm−1, which is a sufficient sensitivity for investigating the structures of the sheath electric fields in low-temperature plasmas. We have discussed the detection limit, the measurement ambiguity, the spatial resolution, and the limitation of the developed method.
