abstract = {Radio-frequency Amplification by Stimulated Emission of
Radiation (RASER) is a promising tool to study nonlinear
phenomena or measure NMR parameters with unprecedented
precision. Magnetic fields, J-couplings, and chemical shifts
can be recorded over long periods of time without the need
for radiofrequency excitation and signal averaging. One key
feature of RASER NMR spectroscopy is the improvement in
precision, which grows with the measurement time, unlike
conventional NMR spectroscopy, where the precision increases
with. However, when detecting NMR signals over minutes to
hours, using available NMR magnets (ppb homogeneity), the
achieved frequency resolution will eventually be limited by
magnetic field fluctuations. Here, we demonstrate that full
compensation is possible even for open low-field
electromagnets, where magnetic field fluctuations are
intrinsically present (in the ppm regime). A prerequisite
for compensation is that the spectrum contains at least one
isolated RASER line to be used as a reference, and the
sample experiences exclusively common magnetic field
fluctuations, that is, ones that are equal over the entire
sample volume. We discuss the current limits of precision
for RASER NMR measurements for two different cases: The
single-compartment RASER involving J-coupled modes, and the
two-compartment RASER involving chemically shifted species.
In the first case, the limit of measurable difference
approaches the Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB), achieving a
measurement precision Hz. In the second case, the measured
chemical shift separation is plagued by independently
fluctuating distant dipolar fields (DDF). The measured
independent field fluctuation between the two chambers is in
the order of tens of mHz. In both cases, new limits of
precision are achieved, which paves the way for sub-mHz
detection of NMR parameters, rotational rates, and
non-linear phenomena such as chaos and synchrony.},
