Abstract
Multiple-pulse coherent averaging methods are used to increase the res olution and frequency range of optically pumped xenon NMR in nutation and point-by-point precession experiments. We observe quadrupolar spli ttings in Xe-131 spectra due to the macroscopic asymmetry of pumping c ells similar to those reported previously, but with reduced demands on magnetic-field homogeneity. Cell treatment with hydrogen gas increase s the quadrupolar splittings by a factor of 3 over bare Pyrex cells.
