Abstract
Recent advancements in infrared frequency combs will enable facile recording of coherent two-dimensional infrared spectra of gas-phase molecules with rotational resolution (RR2DIR). Using time-dependent density-matrix perturbation theory and angular momentum algebra techniques, we derive new polarization conditions unique to freely rotating molecules and absent in the condensed phase. These polarization conditions can be used to suppress parts of 2DIR rovibrational response, clarifying complicated RR2DIR spectra. With the polarization control methods described here, RR2DIR spectroscopy can be a powerful tool for studying complex gas mixtures of polyatomic molecules.
