On this page and those that follow (use links at bottom of page) the features and specifications of Sapphire are described.

Grotrian Diagrams:
Atomic energy level data are graphically presented in Grotrian diagrams.  Sapphire provides a template for the Grotrian diagram of each of the elements and ions in its database.  A wizard in Sapphire makes it possible to display only transitions that meet a wide range of user selectable criteria, e.g., selections rules (including multiphoton) or a wavelength range. The Grotrian diagram may be displayed together with separate, fully interactive views giving details of the states (energy, electron configuration and term assignment) and of the transitions (wavelength, energies of upper and lower levels).
