 These pulses are directed into a material under investigation.  %
 The pulses interact with the material, and due to the specific interference between the multiple
 fields the material is driven to emit a new pulse: the MR-CMDS signal.  %

 The MR-CMDS experiment involves tracking the intensity of this output signal as a function of
 different properties of the excitation pulses.  %

 These issues require development of software, hardware, and theory.  %
-Five different improvements to MR-CMDS are presented in this dissertation: 1. processing software
