Techniques, Theory, and Biological Applications of Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR)

TL;DR: The first optically detected triplet-state magnetic resonance (ODMR) was reported in the solid state by as discussed by the authors, where the transition between magnetic sublevels of the lowest triplet state is detected by their effect on some optical property of the sample which is monitored simultaneously.

The triplet state of magnesiumporphin · ethanol in an n-octane crystal studied by microwave induced changes in the fluorescence intensity

TL;DR: The zero-field splitting of the triplet state of Magnesiumporphin solvated by ethanol is represented by D = 0.035 cm −1 and | E | −1, and the decay rates of the upper two spin components both are found to be about 20 s −1, while that of the bottom component (where the spin lies in the molecular plane) is about 2 s − 1.

The lowest triplet state of Zn porphin

TL;DR: In this article, three pairs of microwave transitions with widths of a few MHz are found, all of them corresponding to a decrease in phosphorescence intensity, corresponding to the Shpolskii effect, and it was further established that by pumping either of these transitions a third one can be detected at the difference frequency, so that the order of the levels must be X>Y>Z (or reverse)

Optically Detected Adiabatic Inversion in Phosphorescent Triplet States and the Measurement of Intramolecular Energy Transfer Processes

TL;DR: The theory and observation of microwave induced population inversion within triplet magnetic sublevels in zero field is presented in this paper, where inversion via adiabatic fast passage can be measured quantitatively by changes in triplet phosphorescence and can be accomplished easily and with microwave field strengths even lower than are required for cw saturation.
