Phys. Rev. Lett. 68, 174–177 (1992)Spin-exchange optical pumping as a source of spin-polarized atomic deuteriumReceived 16 August 1991; published in the issue dated 13 January 1992 Optical pumping of potassium atoms followed by spin-exchange scattering with deuterium atoms in a high magnetic field was found to produce an intense, highly spin-polarized beam of atomic deuterium. In particular, the atomic polarization of deuterium was determined to be (73±3)% at an intensity of 2.1×1017 atoms/s. © 1992 The American Physical Society URL:
