A space-resolved electron density diagnostic of a holmium laser-produced plasma has been performed using the intensity ratios of Cu I--like 3[ital d][sup 10]4[ital l]-3[ital d][sup 10]4[ital l][prime] lines. The atomic theoretical model of the Cu I--like ion included the 3[ital d][sup 10][ital nl] levels with [ital n]=4,5 and [ital l]=[ital s],[ital p],[ital d],[ital f]. The effect of line absorption at high electron densities is discussed and the atomic data obtained with the HULLAC computer code are compared with previously published data.
