✦ Synopsis

Laser-polarized noble gases such as 3 He or 129 Xe exhibit a nuclear spin polarization exceeding the equilibrium nuclear spin polarization by orders of magnitude, resulting in a corresponding sensitivity gain in NMR experiments. Recent developments in the application of laser-polarized 129 Xe are reviewed, especially with respect to materials research. The improvement of spin exchange optical pumping allows the production of laser-polarized 129 Xe under continuous flow. Applications of this new technique for the enhancement of magnetic resonance imaging and NMR spectroscopy are discussed. Spin polarization transfer from laser-polarized 129 Xe to other nuclei is described.

We describe an experimental approach that combines multidimensional NMR experiments with a steadily renewed source of laser-polarized 129 Xe. Using a continuous flow system to circulate the gas mixture, gas phase NMR signals of laser-polarized 129 Xe can be observed with an enhancement of three to f
