摘要:
The present invention provides producing method and producing apparatus in which polarized xenon gas of high concentration is obtained without being frozen, and polarized xenon gas can be produced continuously. A glass cell having solid rubidium and solid xenon filled in vacuum is heated to be gas xenon and gas-liquid mixed rubidium, to which a magnetic field is applied to irradiate a laser beam thereby obtaining polarized xenon gas of high concentration.
摘要:
A device which can produce polarized rare gas further improved in polarization rate with the gas kept flowing, which has flat sheet surfaces facing each other via a gap, and which comprises, a flat-surface flow cell unit for allowing a mixture gas of rare gas and optically-pumping catalyst to flow in the gap there through in one direction thereof, a laser beam irradiation unit for applying a laser beam toward at least one of the flat sheet surfaces to apply an excitation light into the flat-surface flow cell unit, and a magnetic field application unit for allowing a magnetic line of force to pass through the laser beam-applied flat sheet surface perpendicularly or almost perpendicularly; and a method using this device.

摘要:
A data distribution system transmitting and receiving a large capacity of data such as image data smoothly without incurring a delay over an optical fiber line located between a data sever and a client device. In the data transmission system, a plurality of client devices are bus-connected through an optical fiber to a data server transmitting and receiving data as signal light. Each of the client devices has a client optical switch and is connected with a client access device. The client optical switch is structured with a thermal-lens forming element and a signal-light path shifting member. When any of the client devices forwards an access command to its own client access device, control light is irradiated from the client access device to the own client optical switch thus effecting a switchover. Thus, transmission data of from the data server is stored in a data storage of the relevant client device.
