Vibrational and Rotational transitions are coupled, and one now has to discuss the various transition possibilities. This leads to a description in terms of P-, Q-, and R-branch for the allowed transitions in diatomic molecules. For further reading, cf. Atkins/Friedman [5] ch. 10.11 or Weissbluth [4] ch. 27.2
