BoxCARS and pump-probe geometries are common implementations of two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy. BoxCARS is background-free, generally offering greater signal-to-noise ratio, which enables measuring weak vibrational echo signals. Pulse shapers have been implemented in the pump-probe geometry to accelerate data collection and suppress scatter and other unwanted signals by precise control of the pump-pulse delay and carrier phase. Here, we introduce a 2D-IR optical setup in the BoxCARS geometry that implements a pulse shaper for rapid acquisition of background-free 2D IR spectra. We show a signal-to-noise improvement using this new fast-scan BoxCARS setup versus the pump-probe geometry within the same configuration.
