ELIMINATION OF PHASE ROLL, SOLVENT SUPPRESSION, AND UNIFORM SPIN-I<br />

EXCITATION WITH SHAPED PULSES: Warren S. Warren, Mark McCoy and<br />

We have recently shown <strong>th</strong>at purely amplitude modulated or phase/amplitude modu-<br />

lated pulses can eliminate phase roll while exciting regions as narrow as 15 Hz; can<br />

produce undistorted two-dimensional spectra off resonance while completely eliminating<br />

<strong>th</strong>e solvent peak; and can excite a broader quadrupolar powder pattern for <strong>th</strong>e same<br />

amplifier peak power. All of <strong>th</strong>ese experiments were done wi<strong>th</strong> a slightly modified<br />

commercial spectrometer. Theoeretical work has uncovered a new infinite family of<br />

pulses wi<strong>th</strong> a rectangular excitation profile and complete insensitivity to r.f. field<br />

streng<strong>th</strong> (similar to <strong>th</strong>e (sech(aT)) l+Di pulses demonstrated by Silver), but <strong>th</strong>e<br />

additional degrees of freedom permit improved phase characteristics and give new<br />

insight into <strong>th</strong>e effects of pulse shaping.<br />
