For a cell containing a mixture of ^(133)Cs at saturated pressure, we investigate the optimal quenching gas(N_2) pressure and the corresponding pump laser intensity to achieve 30% ^(133)Cs polarization at the center of the cell when the static magnetic field B0 is 5 μT with different ^(129)Xe/^(131)Xe pressure. The effective field produced by spin-exchange polarized ^(129)Xe or ^(131)Xe sensed by ^(133)Cs can also be discussed in different^(129)Xe/^(131)Xe pressure conditions. Furthermore,the relationship between the detected signal and the probe laser frequency is researched. We obtain the optimum probe laser detuning from the D2(6~2S_(1/2)→ 6~2P_(3/2)) resonance with different ^(129)Xe/^(131)Xe pressure owing to the pressure broadening.展开更多

The transverse relaxation time (T_(2)) of the xenon nuclear spin in the atomic cell of the NMRG directly affects the angular random walk of the gyro. Accurate and rapid measurement of T_(2) is conducive to further improvement of gyroscope. At present, for the measurement of T_(2), the schemes of two orthogonal lasers for pumping and detecting are usually used. By applying two fast-switching orthogonal static magnetic fields and a single beam of circularly polarized laser with corresponding wavelength to pump the atomic cell, the xenon nuclear macroscopic magnetic moment Larmor precession is generated. The cesium atoms parametric magnetometer in cell is formed to detect the free induction decay signal generated by nuclear spin precession of xenon atoms. The measurement of T_(2) by a single laser simplifies the measurement equipment compared with traditional method with two lasers. The experimental results show that the T_(2) of xenon atoms is more than 10 s, and the effects of temperature are studied, which lay the foundation for the subsequent improvement of gyro performance.展开更多
