Abstract

We demonstrate narrowing of a 2 W, broad area laser diode array and present calculations of the resulting improvement of ¹²⁹Xe polarization by spin exchange with laser optically pumped Rb vapor. This improvement significantly impacts both medical imaging with laser polarized noble gas and spin-exchange pumped noble gas maser research.
