Abstract
We present a constructed setup for polarizing $^{129}Xe$ noble gas. Hyperpolarized $^{129}Xe$ has been obtained via spin exchange with an optically pumped rubidium vapor. Optical pumping is based on polarizing the valence electron of rubidium by the resonant absorption of a circularly polarized laser light. The magnetic field of 30 G was used for obtaining $^{129}Xe$ polarization. The apparatus for detecting polarization is a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. The highest $^{129}Xe$ polarization of 54% has been obtained using 60 W circularly polarized laser light with wavelength of 794.7 nm. The measured longitudinal relaxation time of the hyperpolarized $^{129}Xe$ was 72.3 minutes.
