Polarizing ³He Nuclei With Neodymium La1-xNdxMgAl11 O19 Lasers
Abstract
Optical pumping of helium, using the 23S-23P line at 1.083 μm, can be performed with a tunable neodymium laser [La1-xNdxMgAl11O19 (LNA)]. The LNA crystal, longitudinally excited by an Ar+ gas laser, delivers a usable power of about 300 mW. A3He cell at 0.3 Torr can thus nuclearly polarized up to 60%. Preliminary results are also obtained with a LNA laser pumped by discharge lamps. © 1987, Optical Society of America.
