title: Optimized 1D double quantum filter NMR experiments.
abstract: We propose and demonstrate a 1D pulse sequence to convert double quantum coherence (DQC) of y phase with optimal efficiency, relying on single transition selection. Our sequence has a larger high-sensitivity bandwidth with respect to the coupling, compared to other reconversion strategies. A modified version of the new pulse sequence provides the missing chemical shift and coupling information, at minor cost in sensitivity. Application to 1D 13C INADEQUATE is demonstrated. Our new sequence is also applied to quadrupole coupled spin-1 systems, such as 2H in lyotropic phase. Performance of the sequence may be fine-tuned by pulse flip angle optimization, taking into account relaxation effects.
