Short summary
Measuring distances between unpaired electron spins is an important application of electron paramagnetic resonance. The longest distance that is accessible is limited by the phase memory time of the electron spins. Here we show that strong continuous microwave irradiation can significantly slow down relaxation. Additionally, we introduce a phase-modulation scheme that allows measurement of the distance during the irradiation. Our approach could thus significantly extend the accessible distances.
