A spectroscopic parameter, so called S/XB (the number of ionization events per photon or inverse photon efficiency), is experimentally determined for Re I visible emission lines (488.9, 527.1, and 527.6 nm) at an electron temperature range of ~2–8 eV in the PISCES-B linear plasma device. Our standard mass loss method was applied, where a pure Re sample was sputtered by Ar plasma. In addition, a new alloy method was developed, where a W-3.3 at% Re alloy sample was used. In the new method, the sputtered flux ratio of Re and W atoms is assumed to be the same as the elemental composition because of the very similar sputtering yields. In this work, good agreement in measured Re I S/XB values is obtained between the standard mass loss and new alloy methods.
