The current work proposes a method for pulsed-light polarization of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center electron spin. To evaluate the influence of pulsed spin polarization, we establish a polarization evaluation index based on polarizability and polarization time. Master equation model are utilized to theoretically calculate the spin polarization dynamics under light excitation and the optimal polarization conditions for the conventional methods are obtained. A novel pulsed-light polarization method is proposed by changing the optical pumping rate in the master equation from a fixed value to a time variable and an optimal waveform for proposed method is demonstrated through the variational method, which can simultaneously achieve high polarizability and requires a short polarization time. Hence, the polarization evaluation index is improved by ~10%. Moreover, the proposed method is verified by a pulsed-laser experimental system based on an arbitrary waveform generator. The current report shall expand the application horizon of NV center based quantum sensing.

Diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center magnetometry has recently received considerable interest from researchers in the fields of applied physics and sensors. The purpose of this review is to analyze the principle, sensitivity, technical development po tential, and application prospect of the diamond NV center magnetometry. This review briefly introduces the physical characteristics of NV centers, summarizes basic principles of the NV center magnetometer, analyzes the theoretical sensitivity, and discusses the impact of technical noise on the NV center magnetometer. Furthermore, the most critical technologies that affect the performance of the NV center magnetometer are described: diamond sample preparation, microwave manipulation, fluorescence collection, and laser excitation. The theoretical and technical crucial problems, potential solutions and research technical route are discussed. In addition, this review discusses the influence of technical noise under the conventional technical conditions and the actual sensitivity which is determined by the theoretical sensitivity and the technical noise. It is envisaged that the sensitivity that can be achieved through an optimized design is in the order of 10 fT/Hz^1/2. Finally, the roadmap of applications of the diamond NV center magnetometer are presented.
This article proposes a scheme for nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center magnetometry that combines the advantages of lock-in detection and pulse-type scheme. The optimal conditions, optimal sensitivity, and noise-suppression capability of the proposed method are compared with those of the conventional methods from both theoretical and simulation points of view. Through experimental measurements, a four-time improvement in sensitivity and 60-times improvement in minimum resolvable magnetic field (MRMF) was obtained. By using a confocal experiment setup, proposed scheme achieves a sensitivity of 3 nT/Hz1/2 and a MRMF of 100 pT.
We theoretically propose a method to realize optical nonreciprocity in rotating nano-diamond with a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center. Because of the relative motion of the NV center with respect to the propagating fields, the frequencies of the fields ar e shifted due to the Doppler effect. When the control and probe fields are incident to the NV center from the same direction, the two-photon resonance still holds as the Doppler shifts of the two fields are the same. Thus, due to the electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT), the probe light can pass through the NV center nearly without absorption. However, when the two fields propagate in opposite directions, the probe light can not effectively pass through the NV center as a result of the breakdown of two-photon resonance.
The possibility of using Nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamonds to measure nanoscale magnetic fields with unprecedented sensitivity is one of the most significant achievements of quantum sensing. Here we present an innovative experimental set-up, showi ng an achieved sensitivity comparable to the state of the art ODMR protocols if the sensing volume is taken into account. The apparatus allows magnetic sensing in biological samples such as individual cells, as it is characterized by a small sensing volume and full bio-compatibility. The sensitivity at different optical powers is studied to extend this technique to the intercellular scale.
Ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamonds are widely utilized for magnetometry, magnetic-field imaging and magnetic-resonance detection. They have not been used for magnetometry at zero ambient field because Zeeman sublevels lose first-o rder sensitivity to magnetic fields as they are mixed due to crystal strain or electric fields. In this work, we realize a zero-field (ZF) magnetometer using polarization-selective microwave excitation in a 12C-enriched HPHT crystal sample. We employ circularly polarized microwaves to address specific transitions in the optically detected magnetic resonance and perform magnetometry with a noise floor of 250 pT/Hz^(1/2). This technique opens the door to practical applications of NV sensors for ZF magnetic sensing, such as ZF nuclear magnetic resonance, and investigation of magnetic fields in biological systems.
