Abstract

To excite and refocus single quantum coherences in a three-level system with a quadrupolar interaction, it is possible to use frequency-modulated pulses with two diverging frequency components that are swept simultaneously through the two single-quantum transitions. This is achieved by time-dependent amplitude-modulation of the carrier frequency, so as to generate two sidebands with frequencies that are diverging (or converging) sym. with respect to the carrier frequency. Simulations and expts. show that such modulated pulses can be used to refocus single quantum coherences to form quadrupole echoes, using much weaker RF amplitudes than in conventional echo sequences. To visualize the evolution of the coherences in a three-level system, a graphical representation of the d. operator components is proposed. [on SciFinder (R)]

Nuclear magnetic resonance

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a physical phenomenon in which nuclei in a strong constant magnetic field are perturbed by a weak oscillating magnetic field (in the near field) and respond by producing an electromagnetic signal with a frequency characteristic of the magnetic field at the nucleus. This process occurs near resonance, when the oscillation frequency matches the intrinsic frequency of the nuclei, which depends on the strength of the static magnetic field, the chemical environment, and the magnetic properties of the isotope involved; in practical applications with static magnetic fields up to ca.

Frequency-shift keying

Frequency-shift keying (FSK) is a frequency modulation scheme in which digital information is encoded on a carrier signal by periodically shifting the frequency of the carrier between several discrete frequencies. The technology is used for communication systems such as telemetry, weather balloon radiosondes, caller ID, garage door openers, and low frequency radio transmission in the VLF and ELF bands. The simplest FSK is binary FSK (BFSK), in which the carrier is shifted between two discrete frequencies to transmit binary (0s and 1s) information.

Carrier wave

In telecommunications, a carrier wave, carrier signal, or just carrier, is a waveform (usually sinusoidal) that is modulated (modified) with an information-bearing signal (called the message signal or modulation signal) for the purpose of conveying information. This carrier wave usually has a much higher frequency than the message signal does. This is because it is impractical to transmit signals with low frequencies.
