Recently introduced studies of the spatial characteristics of spin dynamics in dipolarly coupled solids rely upon NMR probes with strong magnetic field gradients to create spatial magnetization gratings with periods of from 1 micron to 1 nm. The measurements are carried out as scattering experiments where the spatial displacement of spin coherence is recorded as a phase shift or attenuation of the magnetization grating. Recently we have employed these techniques to make a direct measurement of the spin diffusion rate in single crystal CaF2. Here we discuss designs for strong pulsed gradient NMR probes. Three gradient coil sets were designed and constructed, with coil constants of 0.32, 0.67, and 4.15 T/m/A. When driven by a pulsed current source that provides up to 300 A, pulsed gradients of 100, 200, and 600 T/m, respectively, were generated. These designs are fully described, along with practical issues of coil heating and probe stability.
