Although based on lectures given for graduate students and postgraduates starting in plasma physics, this concise introduction to the fundamental processesand tools is as well directed at established researchers who are newcomers tospectroscopy and seek quick access to the diagnostics of plasmas ranging fromlow- to high-density technical systems at low temperatures, as well as from low- to high-density hot plasmas. Basic ideas and fundamental concepts are introduced as well as typical instrumentation from the X-ray to the infrared spectral regions. Examples, techniques and methods illustrate the possibilities. INDICE: Introduction.- Quantities of Spectroscopy.- Spectroscopic Instruments.- Detectors.- Calibration.- Radiative Processes in Plasmas.- Collisional Processes.- Population Models.- Line Broadening.- Diagnostic Applications.
