The
feasibility of building an in situ high field polariser of 3He using the Metastability
Exchange Optical Pumping (MEOP) technique is studying here. The first results
obtained with different closed cells of 3He show the possibility to produce
hyperpolarised gas up to 30% at 267 mbar and 67% at 32 mbar with a volume
nagnetization production never obtained yet.
