  "abstract": "Control of molecular angular momentum orientation enables state-resolved studies of molecular interactions and provides a basis for quantum information processing. Here we propose all-optical Autler-Townes state-selective adiabatic passage (ASAP) to prepare molecules in a single $|J,M\\rangle$ sublevel. An Autler-Townes branch created by a strong coupling field is selectively populated and adiabatically mapped onto the target vibrational state. We resolve detuning-dependent rovibrational Autler-Townes splitting in $^{13}$CO$_2$, establishing the spectroscopic basis for the selective excitation of the target dressed branch. The density-matrix model calibrated by these spectra predicts transfer approaching 90\\%. The scheme can exploit millisecond vibrational radiative lifetimes within the electronic ground state and extend to polar and nonpolar molecules with infrared-active vibrational modes.",
