Purcell-enhanced optical spin readout of Nitrogen-Vacancy centers in diamond

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond have emerged as promising quantum solid-state systems, with applications ranging from quantum information processing to magnetic sensing. One of the most useful properties of NVs is the ability to read their ground-state spin projection optically at room temperature. This work provides a theoretical analysis of Purcell enhanced NV optical coupling, through which we find optimal parameters for maximal Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of the optical spin-state readout. We conclude that a combined increase in spontaneous emission (through Purcell enhancement) and in optical excitation could significantly increase the readout SNR.
