A comparison of the results obtained by solving the Boltzmann equation with the experimental results from optical emissions obtained in SF/sub 6/-O/sub 2/ radiofrequency discharges, when N/sub 2/, Ar, and He are also admitted as actinometers, has allowed us to explore the potentialities and limits of actinometry. The use of different actinometers also allowed us to monitor the evolution of the electron distribution functions as a function of the plasma parameters.
