Abstract Optical emission spectroscopy is an optical non‐destructive method with which the temperature of the heavy particles (atoms, molecules, and ions) and the vibration temperature is determined in an air plasma torch and in an atmospheric nitrogen dielectric barrier parallel plate discharge. The two temperatures are measured to obtain an estimation of the deviation from local thermal equilibrium and to compare the two plasma source configurations which are used for surface treatment.
