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. %

+This signal may have a different frequency and/or direction than the input pulses, depending on the

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
