Enhanced noble-gas NMR signals are observed in mixed noble-gas-rubidium samples by monitoring spin polarization of the optically pumped rubidium ensemble mechanized as a magnetometer. These signals are believed to arise through electron exchange enhancement of the contact hyperfine interaction during noble-gas-rubidium binary collisions. Polarization of the noble-gas magnetization is obtained through spin exchange with the rubidium ensemble.
