Abstract

Emission spectroscopy as one of the standard methods to measure atomic transition probabilities is discussed with its advantages, its restrictions and its pitfalls. The measurement of branching fractions combined with lifetime data obtained with modern laser techniques is discussed as the prevailing measuring procedure which guarantees large sets of reliable f-values. The trend to shorter wavelengths in astrophysics and in fusion research will also in the future keep emission spectroscopy attractive.
