Abstract
A resonator is provided for electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The resonator comprises walls defining a cavity. In the cavity, a predetermined oscillation mode of a preselectable frequency, in particular in the Q band, is capable of propagating. The walls are provided with an opening for irradiating a radiation, in particular light rays. The cavity has a cylindrical shape. An oscillation mode of the type TE.sub.01n is excited, with n being greater than one. The opening is configured as an annular slot extending substantially all around the cylindrical jacket, which defines the cavity, in a radial plane at a distance of m L/4 from a radial end wall delimiting the cavity, and m is an odd number and greater than one (FIG. 2).
