D vi = 1, D vj = 0; i j .
These are fundamental vibrations
Anharmonicity permits overtones and combinations
ni = n0 exp[-(Ei-E0)/kT],
where T is the temperature (K) (note: kT at room temp ~200 cm-1)

Anharmonic Transitions
Real molecules are anharmonic to some degree so other transitions do
occur but are weak. These are termed overtones (D vi = 2, 3, . .) or
combination bands (D vi = 1, D vj = 1, . .). [Diatomic model]

Comparison of IR Methods
Dispersive & Fourier Transform
IR Detectors:
DTGS: deuterated triglycine sulfate - pyroelectric bolometer (thermal)
Slow response, broad wavenumber detection
MCT: mercury cadmium telluride - photo conducting diode (quantum)
must be cooled to liquid N2 temperatures (77 K)
mirror velocity (scan speed) should be high (20Khz)
Sample Compartment
IR beam focused (< 6 mm), permits measurement of small samples.
Enclosed with space in compartment for sampling accessories
