Experiments to study the temperature in the discharge produced using a dc spiral hollow cathode with CH4-H2 as the feed gas have been carried out during the rowth of diamond. Optical emission from the R branch of the 3d1 Σ v-O-2p Σ v-O rotational vibronic band are used to determine a rotational temperature. Limitations of this method are discussed.
