The efficiency of continuous wave dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) experiments decreases at the high magnetic fields used in contemporary high-resolution NMR applications. To recover the expected signal enhancements from DNP, we explored time domain experiments such as NOVEL which matches the electron Rabi frequency to the nuclear Larmor frequency to mediate polarization transfer. However, satisfying this matching condition at high frequencies is technically demanding. As an alternative we report here frequency-swept integrated solid effect (FS-ISE) experiments that allow low power sweeps of the exciting microwave frequencies to constructively integrate the negative and positive polarizations of the solid effect, thereby producing a polarization efficiency comparable to (+/-10 % difference) NOVEL. Finally, the microwave frequency modulation results in field profiles that exhibit new features that we coin the "stretched" solid effect.

Field-frequency locked X-band Overhauser effect spectrometer #DNPNMR
This article is already a bit older. However, it nicely illustrates that DNP, specifically ODNP has been around for a while already, and gives some interesting specifics on the instrumentation that are still valid today.
