The Stark broadening parameters of six lines of Zn II (4 measured for the first time) have been measured in a plasma produced by ablation of a Cd-Zn alloy with a Nd:YAG laser. The broadening parameters were obtained in molecular Argon at 6 Torr. A Boltzmann plot was used to obtain the plasma temperature and published values of the Stark broadening in Cd II and Saha's equation to obtain the electron density. The Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium condition was checked. Contributions to broadening arising from a mechanism different from the Stark broadening as well as self-absorption influence were estimated for every studied line. A comparison is made with previous experimental values and recent theoretical estimates of the Stark broadening where possible.
