Continuous-wave nuclear magnetic resonance

ID: continuous-wave-nuclear-magnetic-resonance

For constant drive, set the three rotating frame derivatives to zero. Substitution first gives , then , hence
The absorption is proportional to . With , its frequency dependence is a Cauchy distribution profile, often called a Lorentzian. With appreciable , the response broadens and on resonance: nuclear magnetic resonance saturation limits the response. The short-pulse amplitude in the previous example is not a weak continuous drive; these are different operating regimes of the same equations.
