Abstract

Optimal control theory is applied for designing pulse sequences to optimally excite a spin-3/2 system with residual quadrupolar coupling in the presence of quadrupolar relaxation. A homogeneous form of the master equation is constructed to simulate the dynamics of the spin system, and a general optimization procedure with a homogeneous form of the equation of motion is described. The optimized pulses are tested with 23Na NMR, and their performance is compared with that of pulses optimized in the absence of relaxation.
