We investigate the effects of the density ratio of K-Rb hybrid cells on the alkali metal-noble gas comagnetometers. Bloch equations simplified with the density ratio and average-pumping-rate model are presented for numerical simulation, which simplifies equations of complete hybrid spin ensemble and problem of polarization gradient. The spin polarizations of electron and nucleon, total electronic relaxation rates, and the spin-exchange efficiencies are measured with cells of different density ratios. The results are in good agreement with our equivalent model. Based on our theoretical analysis, the K-Rb-21Ne comagnetometer achieves maximum output signal by optimizing the combination of density ratio and optical power density. The density ratio is critical to the homogeneity of spin polarization and efficiency of hyperpolarization. The method in this work finds a way to optimize the sensitivity of comagnetometers, which is significant for angular-rotation sensors and new physics research.
