      We present an experimental and theoretical study of electronic spin decoherence in ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in bulk high-purity diamond at room temperature. Under appropriate conditions, we find ...
    • Dressed-State Resonant Coupling between Bright and Dark Spins in Diamond 

      Belthangady, Chinmay N.; Bar-Gill, N.; Pham, Linh My; Arai, K.; Le Sage, David Anthony; Cappellaro, P.; Walsworth, Ronald Lee (American Physical Society, 2013)
      Under ambient conditions, spin impurities in solid-state systems are found in thermally mixed states and are optically “dark”; i.e., the spin states cannot be optically controlled. Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond ...
    • Efficient photon detection from color centers in a diamond optical waveguide 

      LeSage, David Anthony; Pham, Linh My; Bar-Gill, N.; Belthangady, Chinmay N.; Lukin, Mikhail D.; Yacoby, Amir; Walsworth, Ronald L. (American Physical Society (APS), 2012)
      A common limitation of experiments using color centers in diamond is the poor photon collection efficiency of microscope objectives due to refraction at the diamond interface. We present a simple and effective technique ...
    • Enhanced metrology using preferential orientation of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond 

      Pham, Linh My; Bar-Gill, N.; LeSage, David Anthony; Belthangady, Chinmay N.; Stacey, A.; Markham, M.; Twitchen, D. J.; Lukin, Mikhail D.; Walsworth, Ronald L. (American Physical Society (APS), 2012)
      We demonstrate preferential orientation of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers along two of four possible crystallographic axes in diamonds grown by chemical vapor deposition on the {100} face. We identify the relevant ...

      Pham, Linh My; Bar-Gill, N.; Belthangady, Chinmay N.; LeSage, David Anthony; Cappellaro, P.; Lukin, Mikhail D.; Yacoby, Amir; Walsworth, Ronald L. (American Physical Society (APS), 2012)
      We use multipulse dynamical decoupling to increase the coherence lifetime (T2) of large numbers of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) electronic spins in room temperature diamond, thus enabling scalable applications of multispin quantum ...

      Pham, Linh My (2013-09-18)
      In recent years, the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center has emerged as a promising magnetic sensor capable of measuring magnetic fields with high sensitivity and spatial resolution under ambient conditions. This combination of ...
