Short summary
The determination of distance distributions in the nanometre range is an important application of pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. However, low sensitivity is often a major challenge. In this paper, we compare several broadband-shaped pulses and compare their performance to classical rectangular pulses in order to increase the sensitivity of double electron–electron resonance to a commercial setup. We show that improvements in sensitivity of up to 86 % are possible.
