We present highly robust, optimal control-based shaped pulses designed to replace all 90° and 180° hard pulses in a given pulse sequence for improved performance. Special attention was devoted to ensuring that the pulses can be simply substituted in a one-to-one fashion for the original hard pulses without any additional modification of the existing sequence. The set of four pulses for each nucleus therefore consists of 90° and 180° point-to-point (PP) and universal rotation (UR) pulses of identical duration. These 1ms pulses provide uniform performance over resonance offsets of 20kHz ((1)H) and 35kHz ((13)C) and tolerate reasonably large radio frequency (RF) inhomogeneity/miscalibration of ±15% ((1)H) and ±10% ((13)C), making them especially suitable for NMR of small-to-medium-sized molecules (for which relaxation effects during the pulse are negligible) at an accessible and widely utilized spectrometer field strength of 600MHz. The experimental performance of conventional hard-pulse sequences is shown to be greatly improved by incorporating the new pulses, each set referred to as the Fantastic Four (Fanta4).

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] Shaped Pulses
Shaped Pulses
Shaped rf pulses are used frequently in modern NMR experiments for selective excitation and more efficient inversion. The figure below shows some of the pulse shapes in the Bruker shape library measured with an oscilloscope on an AVANCE III console. Each 50.3 MHz rf pulse was 1 msec in duration and was measured at the output of the signal generation unit.http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--GjbnC0soco/TeU9TDXS7nI/AAAAAAAAA4c/Kt3DwPKLjx8/s400/shaped_pulses_scope.jpghttps://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3300702123878659843-4230712340261495616?l=u-of-o-nmr-facility.blogspot.com...

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] FT NMR Spectra Without Pulses
FT NMR Spectra Without Pulses
An FT NMR spectrum is obtained by applying a pulse at the Larmor frequency to a sample in a magnetic field. The precession of the spins induces a voltage in the receiver coil which is recorded as a function of time. The Fourier transform of the time dependent signal is the NMR spectrum. What happens if you do not provide any pulses? You might think that you would not observe a signal - but this is not the case. Even without any pulses there is sufficient noise present to allow incoherent precession of the nuclear spins. This precession can be measured and...
