In this paper, an atmospheric plasma jet plasma plume generated using Helium gas was investigated for reactive plasma species. The method of investigation is by using Optical Emission Spectroscopy analysis. Observation of the emission spectrum enables understanding of the influence of reactive species inside plasma plume to microbial inactivation process. The reactive species in plasma plume were detected using spectrometer without presence of bacteria. Escherichia coli and Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus were used as inactivation targets. Bacteria were cultured in 10 Colony Forming Unit per milliliter in single colony and exposed to plasma at different time. It is found that, both bacteria were inactivated at 180 seconds.  The result of emission line spectrum showed the presence of nitrogen and oxygen between line 300 nm until 700 nm. Nitrogen and oxygen are involved in oxidation process which is known as Reactive Nitrogen Species and Reactive Oxygen Species. These species are main key in bacteria inactivation.

Argon plasma jet in a single-electrode configuration was generated at low temperature and atmospheric pressure by 50 kHz radiofrequency power supply. Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) was used to investigate the local emissivity of argon plasma in the range between 200 and 1,100 nm. The spatial distribution of reactive species was measured at different distances of the plasma expansion from the nozzle exit such as 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 cm. These measurements were obtained to analyze the plasma parameters such as electron temperature and electron density. The effect of distances of the plasma expansion from the nozzle exit on the plasma parameters was studied. The main intensive argon lines were found in the region between 690 and 970 nm. The electron temperature was found in the range of 0.5-1.1 eV. The electron density was found in the range of 4.0x1012-1.2x1013 cm-3. The plasma parameters strongly depended on the distances of the plasma expansion from the nozzle exit.

In this work, different methods employed for the analysis of emission spectra are presented. The proposal is to calculate the excitation temperature (Texc), electronic temperature (Te) and electron density (ne) for several plasma techniques used in the growth of thin films. Some of these tecnniques include magnetron sputtering and arc discharges. Initially, some fundamental physical principles that support the Optical Emission Spec-troscopy (OES) technique are described; then, some rules to consider during the spectral analysis to avoid ambiguities are listed. Finally, some of the more frequently used spectroscopic methods for determining the physical properties of plasma are described.
