Continuous Comagnetometry using Transversely Polarized Xe Isotopes
We demonstrate a transversely polarized spin-exchange pumped noble gas comagnetometer which suppresses systematic errors from longitudinal polarization. Rb atoms as well as $^{131}$Xe and $^{129}$Xe nuclei are simultaneously polarized perpendicular to a pulsed bias field. Both Xe isotopes' nuclear magnetic resonance conditions are simultaneously satisfied by frequency modulation of the pulse repetition rate. The Rb atoms detect the Xe precession. We highlight the importance of magnetometer phase shifts when performing comagnetometry. For detection of non-magnetic spin-dependent interactions the sensing bandwidth is 1 Hz, the white-noise level is 7 $μ$Hz /$\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$, and the bias stability is $\approx1$ $μ$Hz.
