摘要：

We demonstrate narrowing of a 2 W, broad area laser diode array and present calculations of the resulting improvement of Xe-129 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. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
