The distribution of hydrogen atoms responsible for emission of the Balmer H{alpha} line in the region of the dielectric barrier discharges in the helium and hydrogen as well as in the argon and hydrogen mixtures, in the direction perpendicular to the electrode surfaces, has bee determined by the optical emission spectroscopy accounting for the polarization of the emitted light. The procedure of fitting the measured line profiles accounting for the Stark effect has been used for determination of the distribution of the electric field in the discharge region.
