Abstract

We report on the operation of co-located ¹²⁹Xe and ¹³¹Xe nuclear spin masers with an external feedback scheme, and discuss the use of ¹³¹Xe as a comagnetometer in measurements of the ¹²⁹Xe spin precession frequency. By applying a correction based on the observed change in the ¹³¹Xe frequency, the frequency instability due to magnetic field and cell temperature drifts are eliminated by two orders of magnitude. The frequency precision of 6.2 μHz is obtained for a 10⁴ s averaging time, suggesting the possibility of future improvement to ≈ 1 nHz by improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the observation.
