“You said earlier that microwave hasn’t played the role that NMR has. Of course it’s nowhere near playing the role that NMR does. It’s a little hard to say what should have been done, but we could have done better. Still, it’s a marvelous tool, and I still love it, quite frankly. I wish I could go on and do more with it.”

Broadband rotational spectroscopy has been used to explore interesting questions in the structure of water clusters including isomerism, quantum effects, tunneling, and hydrogen bond cooperativity.
Broadband Rotational Spectroscopy
The chirped-pulse Fourier transform (CP-FT) technique offers significant advantages for broadband rotational spectroscopy..
Chirped-pulse Fourier transform spectroscopy techniques have been extended to mm-wave spectroscopy for high-speed spectrum acquisition.

What is the Advantage of Chirped-Pulse Excitation?
Transform Limited Pulse: Bandwidth is determined by the pulse duration: Dn ~ (1/tpulse)
Chirped-Pulse: Linear frequency sweep from f1 to f2 where the pulse duration and pulse bandwidth (f2-f1) are chosen independently.
Excitation Bandwidth is Decoupled from the Pulse Duration
Transition Line Width ~ 1MHz (T2 ~ 1 ms)Spectrometer Bandwidth ~ 30 GHz (tpulse ~ 33 ps) “High Resolution Spectroscopy”

Moore’s Law Applied to Scope Bandwidth
When is Chirped Pulse Fourier Transform Spectroscopy Advantageous ?
1) The spectrum is high-resolution
(1/T2 << Freq Range)
2) The available power is much higher than the power required for saturation
(P > > Psat)
3) High-speed digital electronics are available
