Optical emission spectroscopy is used for the determination of hydrogen molecule rotational T rot and vibrational T vib and translational temperature T tr. The experiment was carried out using copper or titanium hollow cathode discharges operated in pure hydrogen. The rotational temperature of excited electron energy levels is determined from Fulcher-α diagonal bands (electronic transition, P-, Q-and R-branches), which were later used to derive the rovibronic temperature of the hydrogen molecule ground state, which is assumed equal to T tr. The vibrational temperature T vib is determined for the same electronic transition (Q-branch with ν'= 2, 3; Δν= 0). For all temperatures the radial temperature distribution is reported.
