Nuclear Spin Gyroscope based on the Nitrogen Vacancy Center in Diamond

A rotation sensor is one of the key elements of inertial navigation systems and compliments most cellphone sensor sets used for various applications. Currently, inexpensive and efficient solutions are mechanoelectronic devices, which nevertheless lack long-term stability. Realization of rotation sensors based on spins of fundamental particles may become a drift-free alternative to such devices. Here, we carry out a proof-of-concept experiment, demonstrating rotation measurements on a rotating setup utilizing nuclear spins of an ensemble of NV centers as a sensing element with no stationary reference. The measurement is verified by a commercially available MEMS gyroscope.

Optimization of the double electron-electron resonance for C-centers in diamond

NV centers in diamond recommend themselves as good sensors of environmental fields as well as detectors of diamond impurities. In particular, C-centers, often also called ${{p}_{1}}$-centers, can be detected via double electron-electron resonance. This resonance can be used to measure the C-center concentration. Here, we measured the concentration of C-centers in several diamond plates and investigated the influence of the free precession time of the NV center on the observed contrast in the measured double electron-electron resonance spectrum. The dependence of the resonance amplitudes and widths on the concentration of C-centers as well as the length of the combined C-center driving and NV-center $π$-pulse is also discussed. The optimal contrast-free precession time was determined for each C-center concentration, showing a strong correlation with both the concentration of C-centers and the NV-center ${{T}_{2}}$ time.

3D Uniform Manipulation of NV Centers in Diamond Using a Dielectric Resonator Antenna

Ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond hold promise of ultraprecise magnetometery competing with SQUID detectors. By utilizing advantages of dielectric materials such as very low losses for electromagnetic field and therefore possibility to create high quality factor resonators with strong concentration of the field in it we implemented a dielectric resonator antenna for coherent manipulation of large ensemble of NV centers in diamond. We reached average Rabi frequency of 10 MHz in the volume of 7 cubic millimeters with standard deviation less than 1% at moderate pump power. This result passes the way to improve sensitivity of cutting edge NV based magnetometers by two orders of magnitude practically reaching SQUID level of sensitivity.

Single Silicon Vacancy Centers in 10-Nanometer Diamonds for Quantum Information Applications

Ultra-small, low-strain, artificially produced diamonds with an internal, active color center have substantial potential for quantum information processing and biomedical applications. Thus, it is of great importance to be able to artificially produce such diamonds. Here, we report on the high-pressure, high-temperature synthesis of such nanodiamonds about 10 nm in size and containing an optically active, single silicon-vacancy color center. Using special sample preparation technique, we were able to prepare samples containing single nanodiamonds on the surface. By correlating atomic-force microscope images and confocal optical images we verified presents of optically active color centers in single nanocrystals, and using second-order correlation measurements proved single-photon emission statistics of this nanodiamonds. This color centers have non-blinking, spectrally narrow emission with narrow distribution of spectral width and positions of zero-phonon line thus proving high quality of the nanodiamonds produced

Coupling of single NV Center to adiabatically tapered optical single mode fiber

We demonstrated a simple and reliable technique of coupling diamond nanocrystal containing NV center to tapered optical fiber. We carefully studied fluorescence of the fiber itself and were able to suppress it to the level lower than single photon emission from the NV center. Single photon statistics was demonstrated at the fiber end as well as up to 3 times improvement in collection efficiency with respect to our confocal microscope
