The nitrogen vacancy center in diamond has been established as a promising tool to conduct temperature measurements down to the nanoscale for biomedical applications, microelectronics and material analysis. The protocols typically rely on either the spin-dependent fluorescence of the NV quantum system, manipulated by microwave frequencies [1], or the prominence of the zero-phonon line in the fluorescence spectrum [2]. The latter, all-optical approach however is sensitive to fluctuations in the fluorescence intensity and relies on spectral analysis, increasing the complexity.
Here, we explore an all-optical approach that avoids microwave-based spin manipulation and reduces susceptibility to intensity fluctuations. This method exploits the temperature dependent spin dynamics of the NV ground state in bulk material. We assess sensor performance as a temperature probe and discuss the sensitivity of this method. These advancements promise robust and reliable temperature measurements in harsh environments and offer seamless integration into all-optical NV magnetometers.
