Abstract :
By shining millimeter waves upon a sample, Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) provides a way to enhance Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) signals. Here we report on our efforts to realize a tunable gyrotron at 263.5 GHz and design consideration for coupling a millimeter wave Gaussian beam (GB) to the DNP/NMR probe.
