Negatively charged nitrogen vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond serve as excellent sensors for magnetic fields, electric fields, and temperature. By utilizing their spin-state dependent photoluminescence or absorption, NV centers enable the precise measurement of various physical and biological signatures under ambient conditions.
In this work, we exploit the NV center’s infrared (IR) 1 E ↔1A 1 transition for absorption-based magnetometry. Using a 1042 nm laser to probe the IR transition allows for magnetic field-dependent absorption. The high saturation intensity of the IR transition enables the use of high-intensity probe light, improving sensitivity limited by shot noise. However, due to the IR transition’s low absorption cross-section, the implementation of a lock-in amplifier becomes necessary. To further enhance sensitivity, we optimize experimental parameters and settings of the lock-in amplifier. With the achieved sensitivity improvement, integration into highly sensitive compact systems becomes feasible without bulky optical setups.
