Broadband AC Magnetic Field Sensing via Continuous wave optically detected magnetic resonance with NV Centers in diamond

Abstract:The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond has attracted considerable attention as a highly sensitive quantum sensor that can operate at room temperature. In particular, continuous-wave optically detected magnetic resonance (CW-ODMR) is promising for a wide range of applications because of its simplicity. However, conventional AC magnetic-field sensing schemes based on CW-ODMR suffer from a limited detection bandwidth: the detectable frequency is either fixed by intrinsic physical parameters of the NV center or, even when tunable, restricted to a narrow range of only a few MHz. Here, we propose a broadband AC magnetometry scheme based on CW-ODMR with NV centers using microwave-driven dressed this http URL theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, we show that the proposed scheme enables the detection of AC magnetic fields with frequencies up to the order of 100 MHz, which has been difficult to achieve using conventional CW-ODMR-based methods.
