The nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond is a stable single photon emitter, combining optical transitions with a long-lived electronic spin with excellent coherence properties [1]. NV centers in nano diamonds are of special interest due to their integrability in photonic hybrid devices [2]. In our research we examine the coherence properties of nano diamonds based on optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) [3]. In particular the influence of surface treatments on the T2 time is examined via spin-echo experiments [4]. Also a change of spectral diffusion is determined using correlation interferometry.
