Liquid crystal polarimetry for metastability exchange optical pumping of [superscript 3]He

We detail the design and operation of a compact, discharge light polarimeter for metastability exchange optical pumping of [superscript 3]He gas near 1 torr under a low magnetic field. The nuclear polarization of [superscript 3]He can be discerned from its electron polarization, measured via the cir...
