In this reply, we address the comments made by A N Ryabtsev on our paper (H Lu etal 2020 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 53 115001). Specifically, we emphasize that the observed spectra depend critically on the plasma source type and conditions that pertain in the source. Our source of ions and experimental setup/method are quite different to the one referred to in the comment (A N Ryabtsev etal 2000 Opt. Spectrosc. 88 316–20). So there is no doubt that our spectra contain evidence of photoabsorption from low-lying excited states, and their inclusion is necessary, in order to account for the observed spectral distributions.

在此回复中，我们解决了 AN Ryabtsev 在我们的论文 (H Lu et al 2020 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 53 115001) 上发表的评论。具体来说，我们强调观察到的光谱严重依赖于等离子体源类型和与源相关的条件。我们的离子源和实验装置/方法与评论中提到的完全不同（AN Ryabtsev et al 2000 Opt. Spectrosc. 88 316-20）。因此，毫无疑问，我们的光谱包含来自低激发态的光吸收证据，为了解释观察到的光谱分布，必须包含它们。
