Coherent Multidimensional Spectroscopy is a technique that can be used to gain structural and behavioral information about gases and molecules. In contrast to the limitations presented in One-Dimensional Spectroscopy such as spectral congestion, this technique produces rotationally and vibrationally resolved spectra in either a two-dimensional or three-dimensional plane. So far, this technique has only been applied to molecules within the visible light range. However, certain molecules, such as methane, only have resonances within the mid-infrared range, requiring us to further develop this technique into the mid-infrared region. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the first use of High Resolution Coherent Two-Dimensional Spectroscopy (HRC2DS) using one or more beams the mid-infrared region.
