Description: Relative vibrational transition probabilities for diatomic molecules can be calculated by methods utilizing band intensity observations or by methods not requiring such data. In this paper a method is developed that uses wave function expansion techniques of Trischka and Salwen. Its critical assumption is the approximate equivalence of the Morse and simple harmonic potentials in the region about the potential minimum. This assumption is sufficient to remove all ambiguity in the relative signs of the matrix elements of the dipole moment.
