This manuscript reports development of wideband Fourier transform (FT) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) detection capability at the uniquely high frequency of 94 GHz. Here, this technique is based on the HiPER spectrometer developed at the University of St. Andrews, into which we have integrated an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) that is used to modulate the output from a solid-state multiplier chain prior to amplification, generating up to 1 kW microwave power with 1 GHz bandwidth. Benchmark experiments are presented for a standard TEMPOL radical, which comprises a 500 MHz broad EPR spectrum at 94 GHz. Using a single frequency-swept microwave pulse, efficient inversion of this spectrum is demonstrated, enabling frequency-dependent studies of the magnetization relaxation in the time-domain, again via broadband echo detection. From these measurements, an anisotropy in the spin–lattice relaxation time, T₁, can be determined with ease for TEMPOL. In addition, we implement the FT detection scheme for multi-dimensional (electron–electron double resonance, or ELDOR) experiments, demonstrating the full capabilities of the HiPER spectrometer. As an example, we present FT-detected version of the ELDOR-detected nuclear magnetic resonance technique for the TEMPOL radical. We also describe potential applications of the new instrumentation for studies of gadolinium qubits.
