I am trying to calculate the 'A' - spontaneous emission probabilities from the 'Sed' using Judd-Ofelt parameters 'Omega'. Most of the references say that it is the same reduced matrix that was used to calculate the JO parameters. But a perusal of the reduced matrix tables tells otherwise. For example Table V in Walsh et.al, J.Appl. Phys., 83, 2772 ( 1998).

I tried to check if it is the difference between the reduced matrix between the levels for which the transition is considered to take place. But it did not match. Am I missing something?? I would really appreciate any clarification
