Diagram of an anharmonic oscillator potential energy well of a 1 dimensional molecule (left, solid) with the harmonic oscillator overlaid for comparison (left, dashed) and the time dependent trace of an oscillation within the well (right, solid). The oscillation can be largely recovered from a weighted sum of several harmonics (right, dashed and dash-dotted).
